Services such as content distribution, distributed databases, or
inter-data center connectivity place a set of new requirements on the
operation of networks. They need on-demand and application-specific
reservation of network connectivity, reliability, and resources (such
as bandwidth) in a variety of network applications (such as
point-to-point connectivity, network virtualization, or mobile
back-haul) and in a range of network technologies from packet
(IP/MPLS) down to optical. An environment that operates to meet
these types of requirements is said to have Application-Based
Network Operations (ABNO). ABNO brings together many existing
technologies and may be seen as the use of a toolbox of existing
components enhanced with a few new elements.
This document describes an architecture and framework for ABNO,
showing how these components fit together. It provides a cookbook of
existing technologies to satisfy the architecture and meet the needs
of the applications.
