Abstract:
1. Method for logical deployment of a target IP network comprising a plurality of network elements (NE 1 , . . . , NE i , . . . , NE j , . . . , NE N ) capable of running network-related processes and supported on a background IP network which comprises said network elements (NE 1 , . . . , NE i , . . . , NE j , . . . , NE N ) and at least one network elements controller (NEC 1 , . . . , NEC k , . . . , NEC Q ), the background IP network providing IP functional interfaces (C ik ) between the at least one network elements controller (NEC k ) and each network element (NE i ), the method comprising the steps of: retrieving at the at least one network elements controller (NEC creating, by said at least one network elements controller (NEC generating, from said at least one process information fragment, at least one configuration template for at least one network-related process and for each network element (NE adding at least a command for setting an IP interface (D adding to the command script for each network element (NE sending each configuration template from said at least one network elements controller (NEC executing at the network element (NE
