Connect. Communicate. CollaborateI-SHARe and cNIS

• cNIS is information about a single administrative domain– Review identified a gap for multi-domain processes – Multi-domain aspects intentionally kept out of scope

• I-SHARe is a cNIS spin off– Initially called cNISv2

• I-SHARe has completely different set of objectives – Not an improved version of cNIS

Connect. Communicate. Collaborate

• Network services increasingly required by users in virtual organisations with multiple network domains in between

• Collaborative effort is required for – Service specification, provisioning and SLA negotiation– Service implementation– Service monitoring (performance, SLA etc)– Service management (issues, faults, maintenance etc)

• Good coordination is a key factor– needs information available only in individual domains

• To enable exchange of necessary and useful information
