Abstract

In this paper, we detail the implementation of a self-organized GMPLS network using the DRAGON software suite to introduce service awareness in a GMPLS network. DRAGON daemon has been extended to support anycast routing to allow forwarding user (service) requests to the most suitable servers based on their advertised service attributes. Furthermore, OSPF daemon has been also extended to allow for these advertisements to propagate through the network and modify shortest paths based on these service attributes that can be network (i.e. bandwidth, delay etc) and non-network (storage capacity, CPU units, availability etc) resources.
