Network Management Extensions, performing network management activities

When developing a network management system, the developer is faced with many choices concerning how to interact with the network resources and how to embed into the schema of manager agent architectures. In this paper we propose NMX (Network Management Extensions), a software framework implementation based on Java JMX (Java Management Extensions) technology and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) combining the existing management patterns in order to provide different network resources interactions. The current paper presents main functionalities and architecture behind the NMX system.
