Abstract

In this paper we propose the design and implementation of ServBGP, a service routing protocol for managing service collaboration among cloud providers in cloud computing. ServBGP is based on the policy-driven design of the well-known BGP Internet routing protocol to support the different service interaction models currently employed in the cloud particularly the monolithic, composite, and broker-based service models. The main contribution of this work lies in devising a system that autonomously manages the different aspects of service interaction and collaboration among service providers from service discovery and advertisement to service consumption and revocation. The ServBGP routing decision engine is planned to operate by processing cost-bidding and QoS advertisement messages from the different cloud providers. A proof of concept implementation of the ServBGP design is realized on the NetKit network emulation and virtualization platform using the standard BGPv4 protocol specification.
