Abstract:

Modern networking is moving towards exploitation of autonomic features into networks to reduce manage-ment effort and compensate the increasing complexity of network infrastructures, e.g. in large computing fa-cilities such the data centers that support cloud ser-vices delivery. Autonomicity provides the possibility of reacting to anomalies in network traffic by recog-nizing them and applying administrator defined reac-tions without the need for human intervention, obtain-ing a quicker response and easier adaptation to network dynamics, and letting administrators focus on general system-wide policies, rather than on each component of the infrastructure.

The process of defining proper policies may benefit from adopting model-based design cycles, to get an es-timation of their effects. In this paper we propose a model-based analysis approach of a simple autonomic router, using Stochastic Petri Nets, to evaluate the be-havior of given policies designed to react to traffic work-loads. The approach allows a detailed analysis of the dynamics of the policy and is suitable to be used in the preliminary phases of the design cycle for a Software Defined Networks compliant router control plane.
