Development of management entities for heterogeneous scenarios
Conference Paper
Overview
Overview
abstract
Managed agents are essential in communication networks.
However, the development of agents is an expensive and a
complex task. Although there are tools available which intend
to simplify this process by generating automatic code based
on the management information definition (MIB files), these
are usually complicated to use and are generally coupled with
a specific protocol stack.
This paper describes an API for managed agent
development which provides multiprotocol capabilities.
Using the same code, the resulting agent can be managed by
SNMP, web browsers, wap browsers, CORBA or any other
access method either simultaneously or individually. The
communication engines are provided as SOXJ LQV that can be
installed in runtime.
