Global Business Layer Framework - Deliverable 4.0

Authors

Abstract

Next Generation Network (NGN) encompasses a new usage of voice and data services which leads to service tending to be separated from transport functions. This feature allows both to be offered separately what is a first important step in order to service providers reach a global context.
This leads to an improvement in the amount of service available and in inevitable complexity. Because this, may occur situations where a service is too complex that one single provider cannot provide it.
IPsphere is a framework that is a subject of standardization and this deliverable is about an implementation of IPphsere proposal that supports end-to-end service provisioning. In order to discuss its features we based our tests on an inter-domain VPN provisioning problem.
