“…In any case, the policy based methodology is a way to deal with the board that has extraordinary potential not just in overseeing basic administrations, such as the system component setup and VPNs, yet additionally in overseeing complex administrations. Much research is as yet expected to understand its maximum capacity [11][12].…”

In this paper proper BW (Bandwidth) utilization is predicted using policy making decisions by using MikroTik router. Future network demands, high BW as number of devices are increasing day by day and to ensure this suitable network mechanism is needed with the help of policy making scenario. Implementing policies in firewall refrain the unauthorized access and BW is not being efficiently utilized. The results suggest that MikroTik router provides built-in firewall that is not only user-friendly in policy making but also provide QoS (Quality of Service) and makes an efficient utilization of BW resources. Policy based routing facilitates proper network management. Through policy application, network BW can be used appropriately, misuse of BW can be prevented which in turn can enhance QoS.

“…The PMI can be visualised as a backbone from which one can hang individual PBM applications, as is schematically illustrated in Figure 5. Examples of the PBM applications that can hang from a PMI include the routing management, quality of service management (Choudhary, 2004b), service level specifications management, information assurance management (Choudhary, 2005b(Choudhary, , 2006, and of course the network management (Choudhary, 2004a). This process is roughly like having a network backbone from which individual local area networks can be hanged.…”

“…At the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) the policy based decisions have been used for routing since 1989 (IETF, 1989) though a PBM formalism was specified much later (IETF, 2005a(IETF, , 2003a. Prototype developments emerged (Agrawal et al, 2005;Choudhary, 2004a) though standards-based robust products are mostly lacking.…”

The Global Information Grid (GIG) is briefly described and the application of the Policy Based Management (PBM) technology to the GIG is discussed in detail. Given the state of the technology, industry, and the needed products, there are serious difficulties and challenges in deploying the PBM technology in the GIG. This paper analyses these difficulties and challenges, and suggests possible solutions. It is suggested that PBM be deployed in carefully chosen small scale applications in the GIG such as the management of the Teleports, and these deployed applications be transitioned to the recommended deployment modes when needed technology becomes available.

“…The PMI can be visualized as a backbone from which one can hang individual PBM applications, as is schematically illustrated in Figure 3. Examples of the PBM applications include the routing management, quality of service management [4], service level specifications management, information assurance management [5], [6], and of course the network management [2]. In the case of the PMI based deployment, the PBM capabilities arise from three main sources: (a) the capabilities of the policy management infrastructure; (b) the capabilities of the domain specific digital policies such as those for routing, quality of service, service level specifications, information assurance, and network management; and (c) the capabilities that derive from the situation evaluation and decision making logic2 employed within a PDP.…”

The policy based management is an emerging technology. Requirements exist for the global information grid (GIG) to use this technology, including in its space based component referred to as the transformational satellites (TSAT). There are serious difficulties and challenges in deploying the PBM technology in the GIG. In this paper we analyze these difficulties and challenges, and suggest possible solutions. 1 INTRODUCTION In this paper we will assume a general introductory knowledge about the policy based management (PBM) technology. The readers are referred to the published literature [1] [2] for an introduction. The global information grid (GIG) and its space base component, the transformational satellites (TSAT), are essential enablers for the Net Centric Operations and Warfare (NCOW). The GIG requires the capability for flexible and dynamic (re)allocation of resources with access control decisions made in a risk adaptable manner. The policy based management (PBM) technology uses digital policies to enable the above mentioned capabilities for the GIG. Digital policies include well-structured 'IF X THEN Y' type policy rules, where X is the policy condition and Y is the policy action. They are formulated using semantics that a computer can understand, evaluate, and arrive at a unique and unambiguous decision for taking policy action that is appropriate under the prevailing operational conditions. However, the deployment of the emerging PBM technology in the GIG and TSAT poses serious difficulties and challenges. These arise from three main sources: (1) the (mis)understanding about the PBM technology capabilities and usage; (2) the emerging nature of the technology itself; and (3) the needed systems engineering within the GIG to facilitate the deployment of PBM. In this paper we will analyze these difficulties and the ensuing challenges. Along the way we will suggest possible approaches to resolve the difficulties and meet the challenges. We will take a practical approach in our analysis, so that generality will be less emphasized relative to the practical needs within the GIG program. After a brief description of the digital policies in section 2, we discuss the PBM usage and deployment modes in section 3, the emerging nature of the PBM technology in section 4, and some needed systems engineering activities within the GIG in section 5. We summarize major recommendations in section 6, and present our conclusions in section 7. 2 DIGITAL POLICIES Policies are described in two very distinct ways. First there are policy documents that are issued from executives and administrators. These policy documents implicitly contain rules and procedures according to which the operations should be conducted. Second, there are computer interpretable statements that formally state the individual rules and procedures in such a way that a computer can evaluate them and arrive at unique and unambiguous decisions. In this paper we refer to such formal policy rule sets that computers can understand and evaluate, as the Digital Polic...
