EXTENSIBLE POLICY-BASED NETWORK MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURE

摘要

Extending network capabilities for a network with a policy-based network management (PBNM) architecture. The method includes sending a first message from a policy enforcement point (PEP) to a policy decision point (PDP) in response to an external action, and sending a Java object in a second message from the PDP to the PEP in response to receiving the first message. The Java object may be executed on the PEP to implement a policy.
