Abstract :
Growing requirement in the network management area, driven by the successive increase in network size, internetworking complexity and time-constrained services deployment, impose the omnipresence of technicians and tools. The universality of interfaces is essential to support these requirements, from the side of both the manager and the agent. The paper presents a middleware architecture for the development of agents that can be transparently mapped into different management protocol stacks.
