Abstract:
A dynamically extensible control plane is a key
enabling feature of next generation intelligent selfconfiguring
networks. This extensibility can be
achieved by enabling service deployment into the
control plane of a network. These services consume
unpredictable amounts of resources at node with
unknown resource availability. This paper presents an
autonomic resource management model for extensible
control plane, called C-QoS. Under the C-QoS model,
services are classified into classes according to their
importance or QoS requirements. Resources are
allocated among classes according to a differentiated
per-class resource allocation scheme, while Services
within a class receive fair treatment. Due to the
difficulty of determining resource availability in
heterogenous infrastructure or service resource
requirements, this scheme is dynamically adaptive to
each resource according to its demand patterns.
