A Uniform Model Of Integrated Network And Services Management For Hybrid Networks

This paper studies the enhanced integrated network management, which aims at a hybrid network that consists of multiple transport networks and provides a uniform application network logically. A uniform management model concerned network device and service is proposed, which is hierarchical and multiagent-based. With this model, an integrated network management system (INMS) is developed. The prototype system can not only monitor various devices connected by multiple transport networks including satellite network and ground wired networks but also manage some services such as normal business activities and properties of all managed objects. The experimental running shows its rationality and efficiency, and can provider a set of configurable management tools to adapt complex networking environment.
