Title
Integrating Goal Specification in Policy-Based Management
Abstract
Current products and emerging IETF standards for policy-based management do not clearly distinguish the goal (the "what") of management from the rules or procedures that specify "how" to achieve the goal. This paper defines an information model that allows direct specification of management goals in addition to policy rules. We extend the IETF's draft "Policy Framework Core Information Model" and integrate it with our goal specification information model. Further, following the IETF's refinement of the core information model into a QoS information model, we show how the general goal information model is extended to specify specific types of goals, including service-level QoS goals. The relationship of goals and rules in policy specification is considered. A prototype implementation of a management server that uses the given information model to specify and enforce QoS goals on a per-user, perapplication basis is also discussed.
