Coordinated Management of Large-Scale Networks Using Constraint Satisfaction

Abstract

In this paper, we describe a tool-set for managing the configuration and management of large-scale networks. In particular, we focus on managing limited processing and communication resources for coordinated network cyber-defense applications. Our implementation encompasses the complete cycle, from initial network modeling and extraction of the relevant constraints, through translation into a formal constraint model, and finally the application of a Linear Programming solver to determine feasibility. This system has been demonstrated on realistic cyber-defense network models provided by domain experts, as well as on automatically-generated models, used to explore the scaling behavior of the system.
