Evaluation by Implementation of the Policy-based Network Management System Called DACS System

As the work for managing a whole LAN effectively without limited purposes, there are works of Policy-based network management (PBNM). The existing PBNM is defined in some organizations including the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). However, it has structural problems. For example, communications sent from many clients concentrate on a communication control mechanism called PEP (Policy Enforcement Point). To improve the problems, we have been studying next generation PBNM called Destination Addressing Control System (DACS) Scheme. The DACS Scheme controls the whole LAN through communication control by the client software as PEP which locates on a client computer. We have been studied on the aspect of principle until now. In this research, we implement a DACS system to realize a concept of the DACS Scheme, and show implement method and results of functional experiments.
