Active Q Adaptor for Programmable End-to-End Network Management Systems

چکیده
We have developed an active Q adaptor (AQA) to achieve integration of multiple management protocols and dynamic modification of managed object (MO) definitions. To achieve dynamic modification, we introduce a new MO framework, called dynamic-MO, which has the ability of modifying its own definition. A dynamic-MO is composed of meta-data and some behavior programs. Meta-data lists attributes of a dynamic-MO in a text format and a behavior program describes actions of a dynamic-MO in scripting language such as Java, Tcl, etc. In our AQA architecture, modules which manage individual components of a dynamic-MO communicate among themselves via an object request broker (ORB) in order to achieve system scalability with high performance. To realize the functionality of a dynamic-MO, we propose interfaces among these modules that are independent of dynamic-MO definitions and an update mechanism of behavior programs. We define the interfaces based on the common management information protocol (CMIP) operations to avoid re-defining the interfaces when dynamic-MO definitions are modified. Furthermore, to execute modified behavior programs without any negative influence on the workings of the other behavior programs, we employ a Java class-loader which has its own specific naming-space on a Java virtual machine (Java VM). With all of these features, our AQA is extremely promising for developing programmable network management systems for end-to-end management of heterogeneous telecommunication networks. key words: dynamic modi cation of MO de nitions, CORBA,

A Programmable Management System
This paper discusses the Active Q Adaptor, which can improve TMN by providing integratability and programmability. Key concepts in this proposed adaptor include a dynamic MO and a message routing function. The dynamic MO, whose attributes are defined in terms of meta-data and whose behavior is implemented with any script languages, is programmable in run time. With the message routing function,...
متن کاملFault Identification using end-to-end data by imperialist competitive algorithm
Faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. Faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. Fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...

متن کاملAn Efficient Resource Management Framework for Programmable and Active Networks
This report presents a framework for resource management in highly dynamic active and programmable networks. The goal is to allocate and manage node resources in an efficient way while ensuring effective utilization of network and supporting load balancing. The framework supports coexistence of active and non-active nodes and proposes a novel Directory Service (DS) architecture that can be used...
متن کاملProvisioning QoS in Virtual Private Network using Dynamic Scheduling
Active and programmable networks change the functionality of routers and switches by using VPN endpoints and active packets. The authors present a new packet scheduling scheme called active scheduling to control and maintain QoS parameters in virtual private networks (VPNs) within the confines of adaptive and programmable networks. In active scheduling a VPN endpoint on the router monitors the ...
