Service Broker Sample Clauses

Service Broker. As an approach to solve the previously mentioned disadvantages and problems of the contracting process, the role of a Service Broker (SB) is introduced to act as a negotiator. To illustrate the concept of such a service broker and to keep the scenario as simple as possible, the service broker operates only between end-customer and CSP. However, service brokers as negotiators between ISPs are very well imaginable. The service broker represents a point of contact for end-customers if they request and negotiate a service with certain QoS requirements for the service performance. Furthermore, the service broker collects all the offers from CSPs and tries to match them in an optimal way. Service requests by end-customers could eventually be renegotiated and resubmitted to the end-customer in case of changes in price or QoS. In case of similar service requests concerning price or QoS parameters (i.e. several end-customers are interested in a real-time video stream of an Olympic competition), the service broker could collect these requests according to their local distances and gather them in a compound SLAs/OLAs with the end-customers and the CSP. To summarize, the role and functionality of a service broker ensures efficient utilization of available network resources in distributed environments.

However, compared to Figure 2, it is ISP3 that takes the role of the service broker, which is very well possible in a real-world scenario.
