Abstract

This paper describes the application of the Fusion method to the design of a bandwidth management system for ATM-based virtual private networks as well as the rationale for selecting that particular general purpose object-oriented method. The system considered allows a vpn customer to dynamically modify the bandwidth allocated to vpn connections. The design process has focused on the software structures and interactions between them required to provide the desired functionality to the customer. Finally the vpn customer, value added service provider and network providers service management system interfaces have been designed and corresponding primitives are given.

Résumé

Cet article décrit ľapplication de la méthode de Fusion à la conception ďun systéme de gestion de largeur de bande pour des réseaux privés virtuels construits sur des réseaux atm ainsi que les raisons motivant le choix dďune telle méthode générate orientée-objet. Ľapplication considérée permet au client du service vpn de modifier dynamiquement la largeur de bande des connexions établies sur son vpn. La phase de conception se concentre sur les structures logicielles et les interactions entre ces derniéres nécessaires pour fournir ce service de gestion de largeur de bande. Une description des interfaces et des primitives échangées entre les systémes de gestion du client, du fournisseur de service et des opérateurs de réseau est également proposée.
