MMS: A Practical Communication Service for Remote Network Management |
Remote network management is a critical capability given the geographic distribution of network elements. Current approaches for supporting remote management are undesirable in a number of ways: they are high cost, complex, cannot cover all the network elements, are built out of components unsuited to the task, and sometimes fail when they are most needed. |
The MMS maintains a secure and functional channel between a management station and an element as long as physical and link layer connectivity exists. Ultimately, adding the MMS to the network architecture will reduce downtime by providing robust support for remote network management.
