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.
