Abstract

The Advanced Technology Demonstration Network (ATDNet) is a major testbed facility established by DARPA and other U.S. government agencies to conduct network and applications research on the next generation of high speed ATM/SONET networks. This article presents the approaches and results of our work in network management on ATDNet. The research addresses different aspects of next-generation systems design, including integrated network management of different technology layers, multitier and multiprotocol architectures, robust distributed computing platforms, and object-oriented technologies. To address these challenges in a practical manner, the authors describe their implementation of a prototype software system developed on a distributed computing platform, discuss how this research addresses the current and evolving needs of ATDNet, and present possible future research directions
