Towards a managed extensible control plane for knowledge-based networking

Abstract

This paper proposes an open, extensible control plane for a global event service, based on semantically rich messages. This is based on the novel application of control plane separation and semantic-based matching to Content-Based Networks. Here we evaluate the performance issues involved in attempting to perform ontology-based reasoning for content-based routing. This provides us with the motivation to explore peer-clustering techniques to achieve efficient aggregation of semantic queries. The clustering of super-peers using decentralized policy engineering will deliver the incremental deployment of new peer-clustering strategies. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2006.
