Protected Core Networking Concepts & Challenges

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to address the transformation that is required for introduction of the PCN concepts in the developments of future static and deployed infrastructures. The paper will discuss this transformation that will in a first step present how these concepts shall be applied in the deployment of a coalition, then analyse the impact of this transformation on the service value chain. The objective is to show how the end-user service will be delivered based on services provided by the networking layers of the architecture, and to propose an Architecture Framework that needs to be applied in the context of PCN compliant networks. The paper will also discuss the policies that shall be developed in order to guarantee interoperability of the PCSs in the PCN and the implementation of the concepts, as it is admitted that all the capabilities defined by the PCN RTO Working Group will not be implemented in the early steps of the deployment. These policies address the routing, QoS and security issues; they define the homogeneity of the behaviour of the PCSs at the interoperability points. The presentation will also deepen the interfaces of the PCSs with the Bearer Networks and show how the undergoing transformation (to Ethernet) of the Bearer Network will support the deployment of the PCN concept.
