Service Automation and Dynamic Provisioning Techniques in IP / MPLS Environments

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 QoS, 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.
