Enabling network management using Java technologies

The increasing integration of telecommunications networks creates possibilities for interoperability among their respective management systems, using common management interfaces for CMIP, SNMP, CORBA, and Java RMI. Many Java technologies related to network management have been developed; therefore, it is desirable to create a development environment using Java technologies. We explore a TMN-based management platform model and the applicable Java technologies. We demonstrate that the management platform can support certain candidate management interfaces as service components in a distributed computing environment. Lastly, we show that using Java technologies to provide network management indicates the feasibility of this management platform.
