Outline overview of a first choice VPN service solution from a business perspective:

VPNs require a collaborative framework involving all the partners with clear definition of roles and a flexible structure able to support flexible VPN service assembly. When selecting and integrating contributions from each involved partner, it needs to include s service setup, service management and revenue share. In order, to acquire a VPN service, a customer uses the Customer Entry Interface (CEI). Depending on the implementation of a business, the CEI is either a simple form offered by the ISP OSS or a more complete directory service dynamically feed by the ISP with service offers published by partner connectivity providers. After receiving the customer request, the ISP takes the role of Service Owner (SO). Its business agent consults UDDI directories in order to locate operator s(intermediate carriers and endpoint ISPs) offering connectivity services. The SO then contacts the business agents of selected partner, in order to get more details on price, availability and SLA conditions. After this selection and aggregation process, the SO is able to make an offer to the customer, with the global cost and SLA of the requested VPN service. If the customer accepts it the SO contacts again the business agents of the selected EOs, in order to trigger service setup. New entities are then created to manage the lifecycle of the service (Service Instance Manager) and the service elements (Element Instance Managers).
