Auto-discovery and auto-configuration of routers in an autonomic network
Abstract
The domain of Autonomics and Self-Managing networks come with a number of self-* features, such as auto-discovery and autoconfiguration to name a few. In this paper, we provide a novel approach to auto-discover and auto/self-configure routers for OSPF routing in an autonomic network. We present the enablers for realizing these self-* functionalities. This includes a framework for describing the network policies, objectives and router conguration, models to be followed by a node/device implementation when self-describing the capabilities of a node and tokens for enforcing security and access control during the auto-discovery and auto-configuration processes of a node. We also present the algorithms that the various entities should employ for realizing these self-* features in their auto nomic networks.
