....access interface to the components can greatly vary, depending on their nature, type, and manufacturer. We define a network management interface (NMI) as the middle layer of a network management system, situated between the high level control processes and the low level components of the system [12]. The lower layers, which usually depend heavily on the execution platform at hand, are thus not part of the NMI. Figure 1 illustrates a sample distributed system (network) under management. The system consists of two workstations communicating through a switch. Each workstation has a ....
....stacks to access all the various components. International standardization bodies have produced various tools for defining network management systems and their NMIs. Among the most advanced tools are the Common 2 20 Management Information Service (CMIS) of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) [12], and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) of the Internet [9] Whereas CMIS, along with CMIP, its protocol for information exchange between systems, is based on the object oriented paradigm, SNMP uses tables not unlike the tables used in the relational model of databases. However, SNMP ....
