Given the financial strain that most companies find themselves under today, it is crucial to be able to manage large, complex networks in an efficient and cost-effective manner. This book focuses on the components of network management system technology. Morris focuses on the use of MIBS (management information bases), which monitor network management devices across an entire network remotely and gather stats from these devices in order to make informed decisions regarding network traffic management and application deployment. The book goes on to discuss both enterprise and service provider networks and their associated management problems. Networks are growing rapidly and carrying both more traffic and different types of real time/non-real time traffic. Network devices are also becoming increasingly complex, providing support for millions of managed objects such as virtual connections. Scalability is probably the biggest single problem facing network managers. Various methods of tackling scalability issues are discussed including pushing more management intelligence into network devices. The author illustrates proposed solutions in practical examples written in Visual C++ and Java.
