A Framework for Preparing Experimental Evaluation of Rerouting Mechanisms

Since the deployment of real-time sensitive applications in the Internet, the research community has been struggling to leverage the IP best-effort networks for providing QoS assurance. Among the various QoS schemes that had already been proposed, rerouting critical flows seems to be a good choice for its inherent ability to interface easily with management systems. To enhance the responsiveness, the operations performed by rerouting mechanisms should be done pro-actively. A proactive network management and rerouting mechanisms was proposed in [1]. Recently, these rerouting mechanisms were selected to be deployed in an experimental fiber-optic gigabit backbone (GIGA project - sponsored by the Brazilian Research Network - RNP). The fundamental problem is how to specify critical Factors and to develop a consistent set of tests for a complete field evaluation of the implementation. The constraints associated to this process are reduced development time and restricted availability of the ...
