METHOD FOR MANAGING NETWORK RESOURCES WITHIN A PLURALITY OF DATACENTERS

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for managing network resources according to physical resources exploitation within a plurality of data centers, said method comprising setting up network resources, said setting up comprising: receiving by a second equipment a first request coming from a first equipment, said first request comprising a number of physical IT resources allocation for a plurality of customer edges; sending from said second equipment a first response to said first equipment with a first part of physical IT resources allocated; sending from said second equipment a second request to a datacenter for additional physical IT resource(s) until said second request is satisfied; sending to a first domain of the first equipment a set message comprising a first set of primitives for said virtual private network to set up a virtual private network; setting up a service level agreement between said first domain and at least a second domain according to said primitives; identifying network resources that will support the virtual private network and setting up an explicit route object; activating the additional physical IT resource(s) and reserving path according to said explicit route object set up; and confirming the establishment of the virtual private network to the first equipment.
