Designing a distributed management framework—An implementer’s perspective
M. Flauw, P. Jardin · 1995
The distributed organisation and topology of telecommunications networks impose management solutions which are themselves distributed. The direction of such solutions is clearly indicated by the ITU-T TMN architectural framework which is fundamentally based on an Object Oriented paradigm. The development of distributed solutions poses real technical challenges to vendors. This paper addresses the issues that an implementer of management solutions must consider. It discusses the perceived requirements and trade-offs that have to be faced in the design of a distributed framework. The essence of DIGITAL’S distributed Telecommunications Management Information Platform (TeMIP) is presented.
