Internet traffic is growing exponentially, and different kinds of traffic are being integrated into the Internet Protocol. To keep up with these changes, the Operation Support System (IP-OSS) will be changed to adapt a diversification of IP services. In this paper, after describing the framework of a future IP-OSS, the paper discusses "negotiation," which will become a key function in future IP management. The paper describes a policy/negotiation-based IP management service for an enterprise network. This service realizes end-to-end policy-based enterprise networking. Lastly, the paper introduces some Fujitsu IP-OSS products for supporting these features.
