Uma proposta de arquitetura para o provisionamento de circuitos dinâmicos sobre redes definidas por software

Abstract: The OpenFlow technology enables the creation of a programmable layer over the control-plane of a network, in this way dictating the data-plane forwarding behaviour through the use of applications plugged to a network controller. Dynamic Circuit Network is an architecture that permits the scheduling of network resources on virtual circuits, such as bandwidth, over multiple domains with heterogeneous technologies. Recently, researches were conducted in order to integrate both technologies so that dynamic circuits can be dynamically provisioned over OpenFlow domains. The objective of this work is to propose an architecture that enables such provision, maintaining the QoS requisites of a DCN architecture.
