The Missing Link--Network Management
Donald J. Jurenko, Robert L. Sligh · 1987
One of the major problems Military Departments (MILDEPs) and other Department of Defense (DOD) entities are facing in today's environment is the rapidly changing and dynamic environment of existing near-term and future user demands on their communication systems. A key element in satisfying these demands is network management, which has lagged behind the technological advances of switching and transmission equipment sub-systems. This paper assesses the effectiveness of network management controls for various network stress conditions and surveys the applicability of current digital switches to support DOD network management objectives.
