Abstract
In order to prepare the next generation of network management systems, France Télécom/CNET experiments the newly standardized concepts of telecommunication management network. In this context a fault management prototype has been realised using an object oriented environment. This prototype is composed of a network element simulator and a management system connected through a full Q3 interface. It provides alarm surveillance functions compliant with the osi network management forum specifications. The software development allowed to prove that object oriented techniques are well suited to implementation of network management applications, and to assess the various tools and design choices.
Résumé
Afin de préparer la prochaine génération de systèmes de gestion de réseau, France Télécom/CNET expérimente les nouveaux concepts normalisés du réseau de gestion des télécommunications. Dans ce cadre, une maquette de gestion de fautes a été réalisée en utilisant un environnement orienté objet. Composée d’un simulateur d’éléments de réseau et d’un centre de gestion reliés par une interface Q3, cette maquette offre des fonctions de surveillance d’alarmes conformes aux spécifications de l’osi network management forum. Le développement logiciel a permis de montrer l’adéquation des techniques objet à la réalisation d’applications de gestion de réseau et d’évaluer les divers outils utilisés et les choix d’architecture retenus.
