Abstract :
This paper presents the development of a generic API, XOM and an application-specific API, XMP. XOM API provides the general-purpose data handling mechanism and XMP API provides service primitives to network management protocols. The system was designed and implemented using object-oriented technology. The attractiveness of C++ implementation is its ability to provide encapsulation, reusability and extensibility in the software module. The benefits and difficulties encountered during the implementation are discussed
