Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of time as anattribute of the network management information. Thetemporal dimension is incorporated in the managementinformation model proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), as it is described by theStructure of Management Information (SMI). The core ofthe proposed network management information model is theTemporal Management Information Base (TMIB), a conceptual representation of the diachronicbehavior of network resources. The temporal networkmodel also includes the definition of a specificarchitecture and a number of temporal services. Theexistence of such services facilitates the development oftime-reference applications in different functionalareas.
