Abstract
The actions led so far, especially by the IETF, have resulted in the definition of a network management architecture based on policies. Some information models, as well as transport and policy representation protocols, have been designed. The content of policies, a topic a bit neglected until now, has to answer ISPs and their customers’ requirements for the definition of new value-added services. The proposal made by the IETF consists in configuring individually some network interfaces, rather than in globally managing the services. This approach has contributed to mark the difference between the service definition agreement and the network equipment configuration parameters. In this paper, we propose a policy-based service management architecture. This architecture eases the ISP implementation and management of the services it offers. Quality of Service is an area of experimentation for this architecture. Besides, this architecture gives ISP customers the possibility to carefully control their network quality of service.
