Core network aspects 1

After abstraction, the capabilities can be registered to the service management FE as new services, with the
new services, the service management FE supports to utilize the abstracted network resource of the
underlying physical or virtualized infrastructure.
7.2.7 Network monitoring FE

The network monitoring FE gathers all the network related information from S-NICE controller functions and
management functions, and provides the information to the network abstraction FE after summary.
The network information includes network type, network topology, network available bandwidth and
utilization rate, busy hour and area of network, network alarm information, network historical data, etc.
The traffic information includes traffic localization scheme, traffic delivery network node selection, network
load status (idle or overload), intelligent routing adjustment, virtualized network resource allocation.

7.3 Detailed functional architectures of S-NICE controller functions
Figure 7-4 shows the detailed functional architecture of S-NICE controller functions.

Figure 7-4 – Detailed functional architectures of S-NICE controller functions

S-NICE controller functions consist of the following functional entities:
– Policy creation FE;

– Policy management FE;
– Topology management FE;
– Topology collection FE;
– Traffic scheduling and optimization FE;
– Traffic monitoring FE;

– Policy and rule translation FE.
