SUPA – Simplified Use of Policy Abstractions
Policy-driven Service Management

Description: The purpose of the SUPA is to develop
a methodology by which management of network services
can be done using standardized policy rules.
SUPA will focus in the first phase on
inter-datacenter traffic management in the use case of
a distributed data center, including the automated
provisioning of site-to-site virtual private networks of
various types.

1. The user defined policy received by Service Management, is a
high-level (abstracted) one: in the case of a certain event occurs, the
adjustment on some objects is needed.
E.g., if bandwidth capacity in the link is larger than 80%, detour the traffic flow
to other link, like (a) in the figure.
2. Based on the service data model and policy data model, SM
issues a middle-level(less abstracted) policy to controller after
analyzing and processing according to policy from user.
1)The service data model describes the service, in this example it contains
the basic information about node and connection among them in DDC use
case, as shown by (b) in the figure.
2)The policy data model describes the event, constrain and actions for
adjustment purpose, as shown by (c) in the figure. In this example, it
describes the pass/bypass action to specific nodes when the threshold is
reached.
3)The middle-level(less abstracted) policy, generated based on the highlevel user defined policy received and the two models aforementioned, is sent
from SM to NM/C as shown by (d) in the figure.
3. Controller generates and issues specific policy (routing, resource
adjustment, etc) to NE according to what it received from SM and the
topology data model.
