Abstract

As computer networks expand, there is a pressing need for management systems capable of handling errors. This article proposes an approach based on management proxies to improve the dependability of fault management systems. An effective MIB to implement the proxies is presented, which allows their deployment at virtually no cost. As an example, a case study of a WAN is carried out. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
