Abstract

Key areas of agreement and disagreement in the network management community are presented using the evolving open systems interconnection network management architecture as an informal guide. A key observation is that the open-networking community has apparently settled on a management model that places management information base (MIB) on each network node and manages these MIBs remotely with application level protocols. Various network systems based on this model are examined, along with some systems that use alternative management architectures
