14.6. Conclusion

In this chapter, we present a traffic engineering perspective for resilient services, including an illustration. We discuss the key components needed in the resilient network architecture so that such an adaptive environment is possible, especially to guard against both insider and outsider attacks on a routing infrastructure.

To summarize, the basic problem domain leads us to consider a virtualized trusted routing and provisioning domain, which is complemented with an adaptive traffic engineering mechanism in a semi-reservation-oriented mode to provide prioritized services, especially for resiliency under attacks or overload conditions. We present mechanisms to extend the link-state routing protocol to facilitate such an environment. ...
