....stack DASE DSS SNMP RMIB CMISE RMIB GMS SMIB MCMIS Applications Coord. Support ASN.1 Support X.700 X. 500 space Inet space TCL 2 In OSIMIS, the construction of high level distributed access for applications in manager roles is primarily achieved with the Remote MIB (RMIB) API [Pav94] RMIB provides an object oriented abstraction of the remote OSI MIB by proxying the agent concerned in the managing application. Management operation requests to the agent are carried out by invoking the appropriate C method calls of the representing proxy object in a string based notation. ....

....to allow specialisation to take place in a derived manager class with the required behaviour that processes the event driven and asynchronous results. While the RMIB harnesses and hides the protocol complexity through encapsulation and a string based interface, the Shadow MIB (SMIB) API [Pav94] extends the model of RMIB and addresses the dynamics of the management information flow and the containment tree (MIT) traversal. SMIB uses the abstraction of objects in local address space, shadowing the managed objects of the remote MIB. The advantages are two fold: first, the API can be ....

....Programming manager applications using the CMIS API can be tedious. Higher object oriented abstractions can be built on top of the CMIS services and such approaches were initially investigated in the RACE I NEMESYS project while work in this area was taken much further in the RACE II ICM project [Pav94]. 10 The Remote MIB (RMIB) support service offers a higher level API which provides the abstraction of an association object. This handles association establishment and release, hides object identifiers through friendly names, hides ASN.1 manipulation using the high level ASN.1 support, hides ....
