The objective is to investigate policy based management solutions that
can help TF-TANT in automating the instantiation and maintenance of services
across a Quality of Services enabled infrastructure.
The test work identifies both existing and required additional functionality
to help TF-TANT members manage certain services in a Diffserv infrastructure.
Services are defined by the TF-TANT Diffserv test work. The work helps
to understand how these services can be instantiated and managed in an
automated and more intuitive way. Identified tools should also allow access
to services to be based on rules set by an administrative authority.
A test framework will be defined to investigate aspects like:
- Level of abstraction
- Visualization
- Intuitiveness
- Functionality
- Diagnostic and Trouble shooting
- Robustness & Recovery
- cooperation with UTwente with regard to Bandwidth Broker.
