Abstract

Networks today integrate multiple technologies, allowing network infrastructure to deliver a variety of services to support the different characteristics and dynamic demands of applications. There is an increasing goal to make the network responsive to service requests issued directly from the application layer and high-layer client interfaces. This differs from the established model where services in the network are instantiated in response to management commands driven by a human user using a wide variety of Operational Support Systems (OSS), and where networks are typically over-provisioned to ensure minimal traffic loss, even at peak traffic periods.
