An Object-Oriented Model for Network Management
Sengupta, Soumitra, Alexander Dupuy, Jed Schwartz, Yechiam Yemini · 1988
Most networks today lack management tools that support automated identification of faults and bottlenecks and support effective recovery procedures. The NetMATE project, discussed in this paper, addresses the issue related to distributed network management of large, heterogeneous networks. NetMATE employs a modular, object-oriented approach to develop extensible management tools and a model for network information. The first prototype of the system confirms the elegance of the design.
