Abstract

Traffic Engineered (TE) networks have a variety of mechanisms tofacilitate the separation of the data plane and control plane. Theyalso have a range of management and provisioning protocols toconfigure and activate network resources. These mechanisms representkey technologies for enabling flexible and dynamic networking. Theterm "Traffic Engineered network" refers to a network that uses anyconnection-oriented technology under the control of a distributed orcentralized control plane to support dynamic provisioning of end-to-end connectivity.

Abstraction of network resources is a technique that can be appliedto a single network domain or across multiple domains to create asingle virtualized network that is under the control of a networkoperator or the customer of the operator that actually owns thenetwork resources.

This document provides a framework for Abstraction and Control of TENetworks (ACTN) to support virtual network services and connectivityservices.
