Multi-entity cooperation platform facilitating network-cloud recovery
Cooperation among telecom carriers and datacenter providers (DCPs) is essential to ensure the resiliency of network-cloud ecosystems. To enable efficient cooperative recovery in case of traffic congestion or network failures, we introduce a novel, to our knowledge, multi-entity cooperation platform (MCP) for implementing cooperative recovery planning. The MCP is built over distributed ledger technology (DLT), which ensures decentralized and tamper-proof information exchange among stakeholders to achieve open and fair cooperation. We experimentally demonstrate a proof-of-concept DLT-based MCP on a testbed. We showcase a DCP–carrier cooperative planning process and the corresponding recovery in the data-plane, showing the possibility of multi-entity cooperation for quick recovery of network-cloud ecosystems.
