Abstract

In 2009 The Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) Policy Enabled Coalition Communications (PECC) environment Project Arrangement (PA) officially began to investigate scalable and distributed network management and control approaches that addressed policy-enabled networking, management and security across different coalition domains. This paper highlights the progress of the work undertaken: the characterisation of military coalition networks, and the creation of both a framework for Quality of Protection (QoP) via overlay networks and techniques for policy based network management in coalition black core networks. Finally, the application of QoP to develop a mechanism for trust based path selection is explored.
