METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROGRAMMABLE AND FLEXIBLE MULTI-DOMAIN L2/L3 IP/MPLS VPN SERVICE PROVISIONING USING A DYNAMIC SERVICE MODEL

摘要

Various embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for programmable and dynamic approach for end-to-end multi-domain L2/L3 service placement in telecommunications networks including defining a DSM policy by defining each of a plurality of service realms, assigning a plurality of nodes to the plurality of service realms, assigning service-type flags to each of the plurality of nodes, assigning internetworking flags to at least one of a plurality of internetworking nodes and applying the DSM policy during L2/L3 service creation. The DSM policy also can be defined to include all possible paths between any two endpoints in the context of a service.
