MODELLING SERVICE FLOWS IN DYNAMIC ACCESS DOMAINS

摘要

A topology aware system that facilitates activation of a new service in a dynamic network is provided. The system automatically determines changes in network topology and provides current topology information to determine an optimal service activation path for the new service. The optimal service path is determined by combination of shortest path using standardized algorithms over discovered adjacencies, logical roles assigned to devices and a service-hub for a particular UNI. The service hub is discovered automatically by employing current topology information determined by the system itself Thus, the system can activate a new service to a dynamic network without any manual topology feed.
