The
tutorial examines the issues facing service providers in evolving their
networks
to
offer IP-based services while maintaining their competitiveness. It describes
what
needs
to be managed, both from a network and service perspective, and the
challenges
facing the industry to provide the appropriate management solutions.
Several
management paradigms have been developed, and are being deployed with
different
degrees of maturity. From an IP-based networks and services perspective,
management
solutions are still at the conceptual state, and more work is needed.
Another
important aspect is the need to build the business case for management
solutions
to accelerate their adoption and implementation. In addition, the smooth
evolution
from the current multi-domain environment to an integrated end-to-end
management
infrastructure, while preserving the current investment in network and
operations
management systems, is required. The opportunities and challenges in
achieving
a unified view in managing the resulted environment will be discussed.

(iii) Title: Quality of Service for real time service in Data Networks
The Internet
is based on the TCP/IP protocol that does not provide Quality of Service
(QOS)
guarantees to real time applications such as multimedia. The next generation
data networks
are expected to provide QoS to applications to multimedia applications.
Current
efforts to incorporate QoS in the Internet include Integrated Services,
Differentiated
Service, Multiprotocol Label Switching and Asynchronous Transfer
Mode.
Topics to be covered in this tutorial include characteristics of multimedia,
QoS
requirements
for multimedia, Integrated Services, Differentiated Services, QoS
mapping
from Integrated Services to Differentiated Services, ATM in the core of
the
Internet,
Explicit Congestion Notification to reduce loss, and active buffer
management
techniques.
