Path-policy compliant networking and a platform for heterogeneous IaaS management
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The dissertation is divided into two parts, each of which can stand independently of the other: ICING and Expedient. The ICING project aims to build a network architecture that empowers the end-points of a communication by giving them control over the path used for the communication. The challenge is providing this control without violating the policies of the providers carrying the communication's traffic and ensuring that the path is followed. ICING consists of a number of sub-projects: ICING-PVM, ICING-ON, and ICING-L3. Expedient is an answer to the following question: How can users manage resources across a federated set of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers? These resources may be heterogeneous, consisting of different types of network, compute, or other resources, they may be sliced, virtualized, or fully delegated, and they may cross trust boundaries. Expedient provides a platform that gives users access to all resources using one set of credentials, does not require infrastructure developers to change their systems, and allows infrastructure providers to enforce their policies concerning the use of their resources. This dissertation discusses Expedient in the context of GENI, a federated set of IaaS providers with the goal of providing resources for experimental network research.
