Riassunto

Policy-Based Network Management (PBNM) systems enable business rules and procedures to be translated into policies that configure and control the network and its services. Those who manage network systems are aware that this approach can benefit both network management as well as the development of applications that use network services; however, the details surrounding these systems has been obscured by marketing hype, numerous acronyms, and theoretical complexities.

Policy-Based Network Management: Solutions for the Next Generation cuts through the hype surrounding PBNM and makes it approachable for those who really need to understand what it has to offer. The author, founder of the IETF Policy Framework working group, discusses system requirements, information models, and system components for Policy-Based Management. He also provide practitioners with a resource for developing and/or incorporating PBNM systems. As network systems become larger and more complex, creating policies for them has become a crucial step in the management of network systems, and this book is a welcome addition to this exciting approach.

* Presents a completely new approach to PBNM that unites the business, system, and implementation spheres.
* As the basis for examples and discussion, uses the DEN-ng information model, an easy-to-understand open standard tied closely to eTOM and NGOSS.
* Introduces the Ponder system, then examines Ponder extensions designed to enhance the structure of high-level policies and their application in a PBNM system.
* Filled with examples illustrating how policies are most effectively used in a PBNM system and what new directions PBNM is likely to take.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Brilliant! John has once again pointed the way we must go on our journey to make IP networks into the tool we need them to be. He clearly describes both the value proposition for Policy Based Network Management, and explains what we must do to realize that value.
Craig E. Dupler, Associate Technical Fellow - Network, Boeing Commercial Airplanes

This is a must read for anyone seeking to understand policy-based automation in complex network environments. It provides the reader with the essential knowledge needed to manage the increasing complexity of today's network management challenges. The corporate executive, technology architect or technical practitioner will find this a most valuable resource for strategic planning and tactical implementation.

Policy Based Network Management hasn't yet realized its potential largely because we have failed to recognize its potential. In this groundbreaking book, author John Strassner argues and clearly demonstrates that PBNM is much more than a means of applying QoS; it's a powerful way to define business needs and transform the network into an intelligent provider of services.

Policy-Based Network Management: Solutions for the Next Generation teaches you how you should think about PBNM in order to use it most effectively. It also makes PBNM much easier, giving you the detailed instruction you need to tackle its most challenging tasks. Written by a highly respected strategist with many years of experience addressing the problems of large scale network management, this book offers immense value whether you're an executive driving improvements in your organization's network and processes, or anyone a strategist, architect, administrator, or developer immersed in the day-to-day reality of PBNM implementation.|Brilliant!
