چکیده

We propose the introduction of a Polling Layer that allows the efficient instrumentation of the management information models for the use of monitoring-intensive management applications. The polling layer allows to optimize the number of polling packets sent to the SNMP agents to collect management data. We describe the architecture of the polling layer that allows the management applications to specify their exact requirements for polling operations. We show how the knowledge of these requirements, combined with an efficient use of SNMP packets, lead to an important gain in the generated polling packets. This gain gets more important under heavy monitoring load. Being completely written in Java, the polling layer can be easily integrated into management systems and applications in different ways. Finally, we show the advantages of the polling layer over different other approaches and we discuss its tradeoffs.

An Architectural Framework for XML-based Network Management An Architectural Framework for XML-based Network Management

Internet management is mostly based on IETF standards, such as the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which was developed at the end of the 1980’s and is widely used since then. Today, SNMP is the most widely deployed management technology. However, the SNMP management framework has some drawbacks in network management tasks, such as the management information model, instrumentation, ma...

Management of Active Networks

Network elements are instrumented to support (a) monitoring of element performance, (b) configuring element operational parameters, and (c) reporting exceptional operational events. Configuration and performance monitoring instrumentation is organized in a standardized naming directory called Management Information Base (MIB) [4]. The MIB provides a universal directory of names for configuratio...

Patterns in SNMP-Based Network Management

The current Internet management architecture (SNMP) focuses on network device management and low-level instrumentation data. A lot of activity is under way to replace or complement it with a solution covering enterprise management at large, which also includes the management of systems, applications, and services. In this exercise, the management community runs the risk of throwing the baby out...
