Abstract

This paper deals with the architecture, design and implementation of a management information tree (MIT) supporting efficient managed object (MO) selection. We present the architecture and mechanism of the MIT in detail and also show how the proposed architecture is implemented in a telecommunication management network (TMN) platform. In addition, we present a new mechanism decreasing MO selection delay, named class level filtering (CLF). The main idea of CLF is to use the class information of MO to exclude the scoped instances of improper MO classes from the conventional filtering. Analysis and performance tests in various cases are presented. The results show the superior performance of the MIT and CLF
