Summary:
|
The QKDN is expected to be able to provide optimized support for a variety of different QKD services. The key performance indicators (KPIs) include optimal latency, accuracy, throughput, and availability for key distribution. However, one of the challenges of the QKDN is to assure the network performance and different QoS/QoE requirements of different application scenarios in an autonomic way.
The autonomic ability for QoS in QKDN will support the seamless intelligent decision-making feedback loop of precise monitoring of status of managed QKDN resources, intelligent decision-making and necessary policy-generation based on the monitored QKDN QoS information, and open programmable enforcement of generated policies. To enable the autonomic QoS assurance, the requirements of autonomic QoS planning, autonomic QoS monitoring, autonomic QoS optimization, autonomic QoS provisioning, autonomic QoS protection and recovery are needed.
This draft recommendation specifies the overview, the high-level requirements and functional requirements of autonomic QoS assurance for QKDN. The security considerations are also illustrated.
