Web services-based method of building distributed network management system

Development of network management technologies results in a mass of isolated network management islands,which restricts the promotion of network management systems.In the face of lots of independent simple network management protocol(SNMP) network management systems,a Web service-based method of building distributed network management system was put forward.Network management functions of the managers were defined as Web services and published to the uniform center,in which the managers can inquire the Web services and call them in a custom-tailor way.Therefore,the distributed network management functions can be obtained.This method adopts loosely coupling architecture and builds a network management overlay that supports the coordinate information and the interacting actions between managers,and sustains the designing global network management functions according to practical requirements.A distributed network monitoring function on the system demonstrates that this building distributed network management system technology has excellent practicability.
