Methods of Network Resource Provisioning for the Future Internet IIP Initiative

Abstract

In this paper, we present specification, design and implementation aspects of a network resource provisioning module introduced for the Polish Initiative of Future Internet called System IIP. In particular, we propose a set of novel LP optimization models of network resource provisioning designed to minimize the network resource consumption, either bandwidth or node’s computational power, as well as to maximize the residual capacity. Next, we analyze characteristics of the proposed models, outline the most important implementation aspects of our network resource provisioning module, as well as the issues of integration of this module with the respective network management module of System IIP.
