Management Environment of Inter-domain Circuits for Advanced Networks is a web application for the management of Dynamic Circuit Networks (DCNs). Users access MEICAN through a graphical user interface based on Web technologies, to requesting the creation of circuits between well defined endpoints. In this process, users specify the source and destination points of the circuits, the bandwidth required, the time at which the circuit must be created, as well as the time interval in which the circuit must be active. The system also provides mechanisms that allow circuit requests to be provisioned automatically or upon the approval of network administrators. For this purpose, MEICAN internally employs a machine workflows with support for network management, which represent the operating policies set by the operators.
Since version 2 the system meets the demands of users contacting a Connection Service Provider with the Network Service Interface (NSI) protocol. In our environment, a central server MEICAN interacts with the NSI Aggregator installed in the backbone of the Brazilian Research & Education Network (** RNP - Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa **). At RNP, MEICAN works as the central portal for all users who need to create circuits along its backbone.
Since version 3 the project has a better integration with monitoring systems. The circuits and networks can be monitored through of the same web application. Thus, it's unnecessary to access other systems to perform the monitoring of traffic in the circuits created by MEICAN.
This software is result of a partnership between the Brazilian Research & Education Network (RNP) and the Brazilian Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).
