Abstract

A network management system (NMS) has been built using distributed object technology and a four-layered architecture with device model objects. This NetKeeper NMS, which is built on a distributed object platform, has improved scalability and fault tolerance, and can be customized easily. It can thus be used to manage enterprise networks, which consist of a huge number of multi-vendor network devices and have original management policies. NetKeeper is being used in a commercial Internet service provider´s network and in several LANs
