Abstract: (3) |
7 |
Due to the growing traffic volume in the Internet, new technical solutions are being developed. The three SAIL technologies, i.e. Network of Information (NetInf), Open Connectivity Services (OConS) and Cloud Networking (CloNe), aim at improving the scalability and performance of the Internet, as well as to increase the quality of experience for end users. The changing technical structure also changes the industry and market structure. This doc***ent aims at discussing the business and regulatory potential of the three SAIL technologies. After the market and ecosystem overview and the stakeholder analysis, potential business models for each of the technologies are proposed. The value of this work is the set of recommendations for technical development of each technology, which were based on the analysis reported in this work. |

This deliverable on the “Final NetInf Architecture” provides an update on the NetInf architecture that resulted from recent prototyping and evaluation activities in the SAIL project. Based on experiences from prototyping individual components, interoperability tests, integration into systems and scalability and performance evaluations as well as community feedback, the NetInf architecture has been advanced. In addition, more aspects of the systems such as specific Convergence Layers and routing mechanisms have been developed and specified. |

This doc***ent describes the final cloud networking architecture proposed by SAIL work package D. Cloud networking aims at providing on-demand elastic network services to connect existing data centre based cloud infrastructures across wide area networks. In order to achieve that we propose the flash network slice, a network resource that can be provisioned and reconfigured in a timeframe that is compatible with current provisioning of virtual machines in a data centre. |

We consider a multi-provider scenario, where network and data centre providers must cooperate to implement global virtual infrastructures. This is enabled through provisioning interfaces and inter-provider protocols defined in the present architecture. The architecture introduces a layering of functions, interfaces and interactions within single cloud network operators, across cloud network operators, and with cloud network customers to implement complete end-to-end services. Management algorithms for user goal translation, fault and resource management are presented, including results from practical experimentation and simulations. Security goals and policy based access control mechanisms are described. This final version of the cloud networking architecture represents a refinement over the initial architecture after experience gained in prototyping and simulating management and security functions and the implementation of a complete integrated multi-data centre, multi-operator cloud networking eco-system. |

This doc***ent describes the implementation of the Cloud Network (CloNe) prototyping. Cloud networking in the context of SAIL focuses on the integrated provisioning of network resources connected to data centre resources on-demand. As such, existing data centre-based Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) can be interconnected through the wide area network using a network service model. At the core of the solution resides a distributed control plane which binds resources together and thus creates full virtual infrastructures. A new network service interface that fits the needs of cloud computing has been designed and implemented. This doc***ent presents the tools utilized in prototyping, extensions performed to existing tools, components that were implemented from scratch, as well as how those components were integrated into a system. |

This doc***ent presents the overall prototyping scenarios, use cases and integration points in the SAIL project. Three prototyping scenarios derived from the project overall use cases defined in D.A.1 are described: Event with Large Crowd, Dynamic Enterprise and Elastic NetInf Deployment. These scenarios integrate the work from the different technical work packages NetInf, OConS and CloNe. An overview on how the prototype components will be integrated and some means to achieve the integration is also doc***ented. |

This doc***ent is a public deliverable of the EU-FP7 project SAIL (Scalable Adaptive Internet Solutions ) and describes the demonstrator activities and prototype integration plan for the SAIL workpackage ‘Open Connectivity Service (OConS)’ with the target of final realization at project end. Moreover, details of cross-WP cooperation are given from an OConS perspective in addition to the project-wide description in the related deliverable D.A.9 “Description of overall prototyping use cases, scenarios and integration points”. |

This deliverable on “NetInf Content Delivery and Operations” reports on the results of the NetInf |
16 |
development work on content delivery, applications, and operations/management. It describes |
17 |
the NetInf Protocol and key components of the NetInf architecture such as an object model, |
18 |
a naming scheme, the NetInf Convergence Layer approach and several specific NetInf Convergence |
19 |
Layers that have been developed. This doc***ent also presents the NetInf approach to |
20 |
global connectivity and discusses operational considerations for the NetInf technology in specific |
21 |
deployments. It also provides an evaluation of several mechanisms for transport, caching and |
22 |
management and a conceptual description of service placement in NetInf networks, together with |
23 |
a service placement optimization approach. The NetInf “Event with Large Crowd” demonstration |
24 |
scenario integrates the different technology components and corresponding SAIL partner |
25 |
developments and provides a basis for evaluation. |
