Real-time policy evaluation mechanism

摘要: An apparatus and methods for real-time policy evaluation in support of network management service provisioning are presented. The includes a repository, scheduler, triggering module, pre-computation module. A equivalency class association is determined each policy-managed entity, policy, information flow and/or any part communication network. Policy conditions divided into passive conditions. scheduler prioritizes policies associated with entire classes applicable to large numbers entities. Real-time events updates trapped via related performed the class, number entities, real-time. decision distribution mechanism provides entities decisions enforcement. changing device group classes. Advantages derived from classes, being
