Control and Management of High Performance Networks


Symposium Co-Chairs

Scope
The focus of this symposium is to report to the community recent research and deployment activities in the area of control and management of high performance networks enabled by techniques such as MPLS, GMPLS, VLANs, and IP over optical (IPO) constructs. High performance networks offer the promise of enabling new services, such as IP-TV, Video-on-Demand, and multimedia conferencing. Additionally, these networks will facilitate Bandwidth-on-Demand (BoD) services, which involve the ability to dynamically provision and release incremental bandwidth in response to changes in end-user traffic demands. These attractive features are predicated on sophisticated network control and management functions, encompassing capabilities within the network for state information management, resource allocation, scheduling, decision making, and action invocation. Management plane and control plane algorithms and protocols for data acquisition, path computation, routing, and signaling are the vehicles through which these capabilities are manifested.   The symposium will serve as a forum for exchanging recent experiences and research results in the area of control and management of high performance networks (including home, access, aggregation and core networks).
