Abstract

The performance management model, an object-oriented model upon which the ANSI performance management interface standard is based, is discussed. The managed objects, the relationships between the objects and the behavior of the objects in the model are reviewed. In order to illustrate the power and flexibility of the model, several examples are presented that show how the model may be tailored to fit specific needs. The examples include static monitoring of spontaneous events and collection and generation of measurement reports. The strengths and weaknesses of the OSI developed model are described.<>
