Research On Network Management Platform Based On Reconfigurable Test Bed

Flexible test bed is a new kind of demonstration platform with "tri-network integration" capacity, new network system and service provision oriented characteristic under the new network architecture. Under services provision oriented network system, building a network is no longer based on specific user business needs, but on network service provision capacity. Each network service can support a variety of user business needs with similar characteristics, and most of the emerging business can take advantage of existing network services. Therefore, comparing with the traditional business-oriented network architecture, the probability of network transformation is significantly declined and the robustness of supporting user business is significantly improved.The core of underlying physical resources of flexible network is the logic abstract model of platform-supporting and component-processing. So it is necessary to research the flexible control and manage system to manage the reconfigurable router devices, supply multi-business service provision capacity and support network function upgrade and reconstruction.This paper analyzes the hierarchical model of the new network architecture, and discusses the network planning of flexible test bed. Flexible control and manage platform which is on the high level of hierarchical model uses the research results of business clustering method to provide network construction standards to users, and takes advantages of appropriate methods to construct embedded business supporting network based on the different underlying resources and network sizes.The major work of this paper is proposing the design principles, devising the platform to three layers for independence development based on the analysis of significance. And this paper optimizes the network constructing algorithm and carries out several experiments. At the same time, our platform opens its several interface standards to support other researchers to develop and experiment, and this method has laid a good foundation for further research and development on the flexible test bed. Finally this paper designs and deploys two reconfigurable experiments to further validate the test bed's capacity of reconstruction and the function of flexible control and manage platform. And this also provides reference for researchers at every level to carry out network experiments on test bed.
