Contribuições no desenvolvimento de serviços de representação, controle e alocação dinâmica para a novagenesis

Abstract

The continuous growth of computational processing capacity, the number of connected devices and advances in communications, the Internet has become a protagonist of an era, in wich everything is concerning information. However, with the of available services and technologies, the current Internet architecture, developed more than 40 years ago, has been shown signs of its age. As a consequence, problems that were unthinkable at the beginning have been increasingly showing up in the last years. This work makes use of a new network architecture to create services that solve problems of dynamic allocation of physical substrate resources - hardware and network elements - representating and controlling them using NovaGenesis architecture. The NovaGenesis is a future Internet project initiated in 2008 at Inatel, which proposes a new Internet architecture from scratch, based primarily on naming, name resolution, selforganization, programmable networks and representation of physical world devices. Four new NovaGenesis services to deal with dynamics resource allocation on wireless environment were developed and implemented in this work. They represent real-world devices like a spectrum analyzer or an Wi-Fi access point. Also, network elements can be defined by software – they are controlled and managed by NovaGenesis through a decision service that dynamically configure data flow forwarding using OpenFlow protocol. Are services of spectral sensing, which takes data from spectrum analyzer and sends it to NovaGenesis, resource management that make decisions and triggers operational commands to access points and software-defined networks. A proof of concept of these services working together is presented, and the relationship with the Internet of Things is also explored. Moreover, it is presented a proposal of their implementation in real telecom networks in colaboration with the Wireless and Optical Convergent Access (WOCA) Laboratory.
