Abstract:

To meet the policy-based network management requirements on policy language, a language continuum, based on TMF's(teleManagement forum's) policy continuum, was proposed. Considering that the development of high-level languages have lagged behind what the policy-based network management demands, the requests for high-level policy languages were presented, including grouping structures, expressive power for the process and a finite state machine model. Furthermore, in order to implement consistency and continuity of a policy in the language continuum, two basic principles when describing policy semantics were also provided. And a policy-based billing prototype for the next generation IP-based network was designed and implemented for validation of the proposed viewpoints.

Key words: network management, policy language, policy-based management
