Performance analysis on distributed network management system

The information super-highway management platform is discussed. Modern OSS (operational support system) converges open system distributed computing standards and telecommunication management standards in order to provide location transparency, flexibility, resource sharing and application interoperability. Considerable amount of interactions exist among software modules in this platform. A queueing model is proposed to study the performance of each machine which contains several modules; each module can be either a client of other modules, or a server replying to remote procedure calls from other modules. The same queueing model is further developed to provide intelligence for OSS and thus enhance the management ability in terms of optimizing the network resource utilization.
