Streamlining Integrated Network Management with MiNSC Framework

This presentation, delivered at the University of Minho's School of Engineering in October 2011, explores the MiNSC framework for simplifying network service configuration management. It addresses the increasing complexity of communication networks and the diversity of existing management solutions. By introducing a two-layer architecture, MiNSC aims to provide an automated, resilient, and scalable approach to integrated network management. Key evaluations of existing frameworks and a prototype for DNS service management highlight the effectiveness of MiNSC in overcoming traditional challenges in network management.

  1. Semana da Escola de Engenharia da Universidade do Minho Outubro 2011 MiNSC: Network Services Configuration Made Easier Miguel Lopes, António Costa e Bruno Dias {miguellopes,costa,bruno.dias}@di.uminho.pt

  2. Presentation Outline • Integrated Network Management • MiNSC • Evaluation • Prototype • Conclusion

  3. Integrated Network Management • Communication network’s increase • Size, diversity, functionality and complexity • Diversity of management solutions • Protocols, languages, data models • Highly complex network management solutions • Integrated network management solutions • Automation of network management

  4. Integrated Network Management • RFC 3139 Management Translations

  5. Integrated Network Management • RFC 3139 Management Translations • FOCALE’s Autonomic Element & WBEM

  6. Integrated Network Management • RFC 3139 Management Translations • Syntactic Translations – Limitations • Easily automated • Overlapped concepts • Data inconsistencies and collisions • Semantic Translations – Limitations • Complex to implement • Lack of formal semantic description • Administrator dependency • Complex for highly heterogeneous management domains

  7. MiNSC • MiNSC’sNew Management Model • Network Service Configuration Management

  8. MiNSC • Mid-level Network Service Configuration (MiNSC) • Service management information models based on the service’s standard definitions • Two management abstraction layers • High and low management abstraction layers • Active and Candidate nodes classification • Secure, reliable and efficient configuration management (SNMPv3 over TCP) • Overcomes the implementation of management translations

  9. MiNSC • MiNSC’s Two-layer Architecture

  10. Evaluation • Theoretical evaluation • Objectives: • Integrated network management method • Verify the support for larger scale heterogeneous management environments • Evaluated network management frameworks: • Cfengine • WBEM • FOCALE • MiNSC

  11. Evaluation • Heterogeneity • Most frameworks support integrated network management based on management translations • MiNSC provides a different integrated network management supported by normalized solutions to overcome the translation mechanisms • Resilience & Scalability • Most framework depend on centralized entities (single point of failure) • MiNSC Indirect instance’s configurations replications

  12. Evaluation • Interoperability • Implementation of proprietary solutions • Standard management information models & management protocol • SNMP + MIB • Summary

  13. Prototype • DNS Service Deployment • Independent DNS management • Automatic setup of a DNS domain • Specified models • DNS Service management information model • DNS node management information model • DNS Servers modules • Bind9 Linux (A) • Bind9 Windows (B) • Posadis MS Windows (C)

  14. Prototype • DNS ServiceDeployment

  15. Prototype • Results • Conclusions • Low variation with deployment heterogeneity • Quick, secure and automatic DNS service deployment

  16. Conclusion • With MiNSC proposal • Simplifies the heterogeneous network service management • Different integrated management framework • Management interoperability is guaranteed • Overcomes the need for intermediary management translations • Service management automation • Resilience & scalability concerns

  17. MiNSC: Network Services Configuration Made Easier End
