Policy Creation Model for Policy-Based Management in Telecommunications Networks

TL;DR

This paper introduces a new model for creating management policies in telecommunications networks, focusing on the policy creation process, involved actors, abstraction levels, and procedures, with an implementation example.

Contribution

It presents a comprehensive policy creation model specifically designed for policy-based management in telecommunications networks, including a detailed process and actor framework.

Findings

Successful implementation at University of Cauca's Technology Division

Enhanced clarity in policy creation process for network management

Potential for improved network behavior control

Abstract

Policy-based management (PBM) is being used as technological solution on the managing and controlling complex networks and systems. One of the most important issues involved in the life-cycle of PBM is the policies creation because the future decisions made by the management system depend on this, and therefore, the network behavior. In this paper we present a novel model for creating management policies in telecommunications networks. We propose a model which includes a Policy Creation Process, Actors, Policy Abstraction Levels and a Procedure for Creating Policies. An implementation of the proposed model over the Technology Division at University of Cauca is included.
