Publication number: 20140244847Abstract: The method includes receiving a first request coming from a first equipment at a second equipment. The first request includes a number of physical IT resources allocated for a plurality of customer edges. The second equipment sends a first response to the first equipment with a first part of physical IT resources allocated, and sends a second request to a datacenter for additional physical IT resource(s). The method further includes sending to a first domain of the first equipment a set message including a first set of primitives for setting up a virtual private network, setting up a service level agreement between the first domain and a second domain according to the primitives, identifying network resources and setting up an explicit route object, activating the additional physical IT resource(s) and reserving path according to the explicit route object set up, and confirming the establishment of the virtual private network.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2012Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: ALCATEL-LUCENTInventors: Helia Pouyllau, Nicolas Le Sauze
