In order to support the mobile and multimedia services efficiently on the next generation Internet and intranet, we need a more flexible and extensible network manager. We may consider the employment of TINA (Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture), which is the software architecture to extend the capability of the IN (intelligent network), to cope with the changes of service requirement efficiently. In order to employ the TINA-based network manager for the Internet or intranet, however we need a TINA-SNMP inter-working function because the current management standard of the Internet and intranet is the SNMP. We propose an object abstract translator, which works in the TINA-SNMP gateway for the TINA-based network manager. The proposed object abstract translator is designed to increase the flexibility of the TINA-based network manager, and to assure the independency of the TINA-based network manager from the various SNMP agent implementation technologies.
