Save time & resources with this comprehensive guide to
automation configuration for the value-added IP services of the
future.
As the Internet becomes the medium of choice for value-added IP
service offerings such as TV broadcasting, videoconferencing, and
Voice over IP, the ability of automating configuration processes
has become a key challenge for service providers. In fact, this
feature has become crucial with the ever-growing level of expertise
required to deploy such services and the scope of the techniques
that need to be activated in order to provide such services with a
guaranteed level of quality.
Service Automation and Dynamic Provisioning Techniques in
IP/MPLS Environments:
* Discusses architectures and protocols for services information,
covering the state-of-the-art in current implementations of Remote
Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS), Diameter, Common Open
Policy Service (COPS), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
and NETCONF
* Explains various application examples, covering the dynamic
enforcement of Qo S, security, and IP Traffic Engineering
policies.
* Covers the automated production of MPLS-based VPNs.
The authors offer an invaluable guide for IT facilitators,
network managers, and researchers in industry and academia, as well
as students studying advanced IP/MPLS networking communications
courses. System designers and architects will also find this book
helpful.
