A Highly Distributed Dynamic IP Multicast Accounting and Management Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a highly distributed management architecture dedicated to IP multicast services. This architecture relies on a three level hierarchical model over which both management data and functions are distributed. We show how the architecture can be used to support an extended multicast accounting algorithm which adapts itself to the dynamics of a multicast tree and detail the implementation of the proposed framework using active network technology.

A Dynamic Group Management Framework for Large-scale Distributed Event Monitoring
Distributed event monitoring is an important service for fault, performance and security management. Next generation event monitoring services are higly distributed and invovling a large number of monitoring agents. In order to support scalabel event monitoring, the monitoring agents use IP multicasting as a group communication for exchanging events and control information. However, dueto the d...
متن کاملCharging for ATM-based IP Multicast Services
Charging and accounting of Internet services has been addressed in numerous proposals. However, finding a solution suitable for ATM-based IP multicast services is highly challenging. IP multicast over ATM introduces high complexity, in particular for multicast with heterogeneous QoS and separate administrative IP domains by involvement of multiple Internet service providers. This paper proposes...
متن کاملThe VersaKey framework: versatile group key management
Middleware supporting secure applications in a distributed environment faces several challenges. Scalable security in the context of multicasting or broadcasting is especially hard when privacy and authenticity is to be assured to highly dynamic groups where the application allows participants to join and leave at any time. Unicast security is well-known and has widely advanced into production ...
متن کاملCharging and Accounting Architecture for Ip Multicast Is over Atm Charging and Accounting Architecture for Ip Multicast Integrated Services over Atm
We introduce a charging and accounting (CA) architecture for IP multicast services with QoS guarantees over ATM for QoS-sensitive fair charging. The architecture is based on an extension of the Multicast Integration Server (MIS, [SaCS97]) that efficiently provides IP multicast over ATM, supporting Internet Integrated Services (IS) with receiver heterogeneity and shortcut management. We define r...
متن کاملA Framework for Management and Control of Distributed Applications Using Agents and IP-Multicast
As more and more applications on the Internet become network-aware, the need for and possibility of remotely controlling them is becoming larger. This paper presents a framework for the control and management of distributed applications and components. This is achieved using IP-multicast and an agent-based application architecture. The target of the framework is to allow resource discovery conc...
