Abstract
The availability of information about properties and status of resources is essential for Grid resource brokers. However, while abstractions of computing and storage resources already exist, the notion of Grid network resource is far from being understood today. As a result, the integration of advanced network services is still difficult when a Grid system spans large-scale heterogeneous network infrastructures. In this paper, we propose a single definition of a Grid network resource abstraction for multiple types of network connectivity. This abstraction was successfully implemented and tested in a network resource management prototype supporting a variety of network technologies.
