ABSTRACT:
We present the design of a new session-layer abstraction called open application delivery networking (OpenADN) that will allow ISPs to offer services similar with Google WAN to smaller ASPs. ASPs can express and enforce application-traffic management policies and application delivery constraints to ISPs. It allows ASPs to achieve all the application delivery services that they use today in private data centers (mentioned above) in the global multicloud environment. Using OpenADN aware data plane entities, any new ASP can quickly set up its service by using ADN services provided by ISPs.
