106 Deploying <strong>and</strong> Managing IP <strong>over</strong> WDM Networks<br />

• Delete task UC. A task is deleted from the task list <strong>of</strong> the scheduler.<br />

• Modify task UC. A task is modified in the task list <strong>of</strong> the scheduler.<br />

Figure 6.5 depicts the UCs that implement the WINMAN scheduling<br />

functionality.<br />

6.4.2.3 NP<br />

As far as NP is concerned, we consider three types <strong>of</strong> operation—automatic,<br />

semiautomatic, <strong>and</strong> manual. In automatic mode, the user (SMS or WINMAN<br />

operator) just requests a connection between two or more end points with a set<br />

<strong>of</strong> constraints. The system calculates all paths that connect the end points<br />

according to the constraints <strong>and</strong> selects the best one. In semiautomatic mode,<br />

the system works just like in automatic mode, but instead <strong>of</strong> choosing the best<br />

path by itself, it lets the WINMAN operator do it. In the manual mode <strong>of</strong><br />

operation the WINMAN operator designs the path. WINMAN then validates<br />

the path checking if it really connects the end points <strong>and</strong> whether it can guarantee<br />

the b<strong>and</strong>width <strong>and</strong> QoS-requested parameters.<br />

WINMAN Support for Connectivity<br />

WINMAN supports two types <strong>of</strong> connectivity services:<br />

1. IP connectivity relating to the setting up <strong>and</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong> end-to-end<br />

IP paths. This type <strong>of</strong> connectivity service is available in all operational<br />

modes as specified earlier <strong>and</strong> can be managed by both the WINMAN<br />

operator <strong>and</strong> the service management system. IP connectivity is<br />
