A WBEM-based Integrated Network Management Architecture

Based on the analysis of the four ways of integrating the network management systems and the comparison of the merits and disadvantages of conventional network management architectures in managing hybrid network, a new WBEM based integrated network management architecture is provided and analyzed. According to this architecture, a solution of integrating the traditional network management systems based on the network management interface level is given, then the advantages and disadvantages of this solution are discussed.
