Policy-Based Network Management (PBNM) systems enable business rules and procedures to be translated into policies that configure and control the network and its services. Those who manage network systems are aware that this approach can benefit both network management as well as the development of applications that use network services; however, the details surrounding these systems has been obscured by marketing hype, numerous acronyms, and theoretical complexities. Policy-Based Network Management: Solutions for the Next Generation cuts through the hype surrounding PBNM and makes it approachable for those who really need to understand what it has to offer. The author, founder of the IETF Policy Framework working group, discusses system requirements, information models, and system components for Policy-Based Management. He also provide practitioners with a resource for developing and/or incorporating PBNM systems. As network systems become larger and more complex, creating policies for them has become a crucial step in the management of network systems, and this book is a welcome addition to this exciting approach. * Presents a completely new approach to PBNM that unites the business, system, and implementation spheres.* As the basis for examples and discussion, uses the DEN-ng information model, an easy-to-understand open standard tied closely to eTOM and NGOSS.* Introduces the Ponder system, then examines Ponder extensions designed to enhance the structure of high-level policies and their application in a PBNM system.* Filled with examples illustrating how policies are most effectively used in a PBNM system and what new directions PBNM is likely to take.

"This book should be immensely interesting to those trying to decide what MANET research is worth undertaking and why." -J. Christopher Ramming, Program Manager, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Strategic Technology Office A thorough, comprehensive treatment of mobile ad hoc network management Mobile ad hoc networking is a hot topic, gaining importance in both commercial and military arenas. Now that the basics in the field have settled and standards are emerging, the time is right for a book on management of these networks. From two experts in the field, Policy-Driven Mobile Ad hoc Network Management provides comprehensive coverage of the management challenges associated with mobile ad hoc networks(MANETs) and includes an in-depth discussion of how policy-based network management can be used for increasing automation in the management of mobile ad hoc networks. This book provides readers with a complete understanding of mobile ad hoc network management and many related topics, including: ?Network management requirements for MANETs, with an emphasis on the differences between the management requirements for MANETs as compared to static, wireline networks ?The use of policies for managing MANETs to increase automation and to tie together management components via policies ?Policy conflict detection and resolution ?Aspects of MANETs that need to be configured and reconfigured at all layers of the protocol stack ?Methodologies for providing survivability in the face of both hard and soft failures in MANETs ?The components of a Quality of Service (QoS) management solution for MANETs based on the widely used Differentiated Services (DiffServ) paradigm ?Important open research issues in the area of MANET management Policy-Driven Mobile Ad hoc Network Management is an ideal resource for professionals, researchers, and advanced graduate students in the field of IP network management who are interested in mobile ad hoc networks.

Policy-based network management (PBNM) uses policy-driven automation to manage complex enterprise and service provider networks. Such management is strongly supported by industry standards, state of the art technologies and vendor product offerings. We present a case for the use of PBNM and related technologies for end-to-end service delivery. We provide a definition of PBNM terms, a discussion of how such management should function and the current state of the industry. We include recommendations for continued work that would allow for PBNM to be put in place over the next five years in the unclassified environment.

What do public administrators and policy analysts have in common? Their work is undertaken within networks formed when different organizations align to accomplish some kind of policy function. To be effective, they must find ways to navigate complexity and generate effective results. Governance Networks in Public Administration and Public Policy describes a variety of trends and movements that have contributed to the complexity of these systems and the challenges that must be faced as a result. Providing a theoretical and empirical foundation in governance networks, the book offers a conceptual framework for describing governance networks and provides a holistic way to conceive their construction. The text details the skills and functions of public administrators in the context of networked relationships and presents the theoretical foundations to analyze governance networks. It identifies the reforms and trends in governing that led to governance networks, explains the roles that various actors take on through networked relationships, highlights the challenges involved in the failure of networked activities, and illustrates how policy tools are mobilized by these relationships. Be a part of building governance networks 2.0! The author’s website contains support materials such as PowerPoint® presentations, writable case study templates, and other useful items related to building the field’s capacity to describe, evaluate, and design governance networks using the framework of this book. You can post case studies of governance networks, draw on other’s case study materials, and learn about research and educational opportunities. Based on research and real-life experience, the book highlights the interplay between public actors and policy tools. The authors demystify this complex topic of governance networks and explore the practical applications of the conceptual framework. Practical and accessible, the book presents concepts in such a way that readers can engage in these ideas, apply them, and deepen their understanding of the dynamics unfolding around them.

Get the big picture on policy networking with this guide from one of the leaders of policy-based standards efforts With the advent of policy servers, network administrators no longer have to create data traffic rules (policy) by hand. This book will sort out the hype from the reality for this important advance in networking. The authors provide examples and case studies as well as product roadmaps and suggestions for possible migration paths from the old labor-intensive management to next-generation PBNs (policy-based networks). Readers will learn more about the first network services set up for policy-based management including Quality of Service (QoS), the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) in Win2000, the LDAP directory technology, and other services nearing standards completion.

The recent considerable growth of computer networks has revealed significant scalability and efficiency limitations in the traditional management techniques. Policy-Based Networking (PBN) has emerged as a promising paradigm for Network Management. The Common Open Policy Service (COPS) and its extension for policy provisioning (COPS-PR) are currently being developed as the protocols to implement PBN. COPS-PR has received significant attention and seems efficient for several Management areas. However, the rigidity of its policy-enforcing mechanisms constrains the intelligence that can be pushed towards the managed devices. This work attempts to relax this limitation by using meta-policies, rules that enforce the appropriate policies on the devices. Meta-policies are stored and processed by the devices, independently of their semantics, making in this way the model more efficient, scalable, distributed and robust. The additional functionality is implemented through a new Policy Information Base (PIB) that we have defined, the Meta-Policy PIB.
