DCN/OSCARS Implementation (Aug 2007)

This document is intended to describe ESnet and Internet2’s implementation of the general “Web Service Based Multi-Domain Provisioning” framework.  The objective is to not only dynamically reserve and provision circuits between ESnet and Internet2, but also develop a foundation for future collaboration with implementers from GEANT, GLIF, the LambdaStation project, the TeraPaths project and elsewhere. This document presents the software, protocols, and XML schemas used toward achieving this goal.
