Abstract :
This paper introduces the notion of PoP (Policy of Policies) used to define standard policy replacement strategies in a policy-based network. We also propose an architecture to support PoP within PDPs (Policy Decision Points originally defined by the IETF). The notion of PoP, and the proposed architecture allow the automation of the policy replacement task currently manually executed by the network administrator based on the network business plan.
