Automation of Detection and Fault Management Response of Common Last-Mile Loss-Of-Connectivity Outages Within the Access Network

The article to assesses whether it may be possible to recommend a solution to enable automation of the process of detection and fault management of common conclusive loss-of-connectivity last-mile outages, within the access network. To ascertain the utility of the research, UK based MPLS VPN managed service providers, their fault management staff and their business customers, were surveyed using online questionnaires for their views. UK public Internet users were additionally surveyed via five UK Internet forums. UK communication providers offering MPLS VPN solutions were characterised. Access network connectivity technologies and fault management functions were compared, contrasted and analysed. An aspiration for the solution to be beneficial to the largest potential population, meant that current non-proprietary Internet Standard technologies were selected, justified and identified which could be recommended for use. It was found that of the participating survey respondents, two-thirds were in favour of automation. Many current communication provider processes were found to be mostly automated. The article concludes with recommendations of how an automated solution could potentially be enabled. This involves further use of business-to-business interfacing between communication providers, automation of their Fault Management Systems and introducing Bi-Directional forwarding for detection between last-mile active network elements.

Research and Application of Network Trusted Interconnection Technology

In order to solve the problem of reliable information transmission between data centers and data sources, between data sources and between data centers, as well as the "network island" communication problem, a dynamic MPLS VPN method is proposed, the principle and steps of the method are introduced, and how to apply the method to the supporting platform is explained in detail.

Data Center Network Architecture Design for Cloud Computing

In this paper, through the demand analysis of cloud computing data center network, the typical layer 2 Technology (virtual switch technology and tunnel technology) and cloud data center cross site layer 2 interconnection technology are analyzed and discussed in detail. This paper proposes MPLS VPN technology as an important technology of cloud computing data center network second tier expansion, and discusses VPLS network architecture and working principle in detail. This paper proposes the network architecture and implementation scheme of cloud data center based on MPLS VPN, and completes the network related tests. Finally, the characteristics of the system are summarized and analyzed. In this study, MPLS VPN technology is integrated into the existing cloud computing architecture to achieve the seamless integration of cloud computing resources and lay a theoretical foundation for the connection between virtual private cloud and public cloud. The experimental results show that according to the requirements of cloud computing data center, this research realizes the dual activity of network between data centers.
