CORBA 기반 망관리 시스템 통합에 관한 연구

Abstract

통신망이 커지고 복잡해짐에 따라 통신망 관리는 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 이러한 통신망을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해 국제 표준화 그룹인 ITU와 ISO는 CMIS/CMIP 기반의 OSI망 관리 모델 [1]을 표준화하고 IAB에서는 SNMP [7] 기반 망관리 모델을 표준화하였다. 이들 망관리 모델은 통신망 요소들의 관리에는 효율적이지만 복잡한 망들의 관리나 서비스 관리에는 많은 문제들이 있다. 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 분산 객체 지향 기술인 CORBA[3]를 이용하여 기존의 망관리 시스템들을 통합하기 위한 방법에 대해 기술한다. CORBA 기반 통합 망관리 구조를 제시하고 CORBA와 OSI망관리 모델사이의 관리정보 및 관리기능 변환 기능을 위한 CORBA/CMIP 게이트웨이 구조를 제시한다. 또한 COBRA 관리자에서 OSI객체들을 접근하기 위햔 기법과 OSI객체에서 발생하는 이벤트를 CORBA 관리자에 전달하기 위한 기법들에 대해 기술한다.

Network management systems become more important as the communications networks evolve larger and more complicated. For the efficient management of the communications networks, the international standard organizations, ITU and ISO, have standardized OSI network management model [1] based on CMIS/CMIP, and IAB has proposed SNMP [7]as the Internet management model. The traditional management models are efficient in managing simple communications netwrks, but have many problems in managing complicated networks and services. To solve those problems, this paper proposes an integration method of network management systems based on CORBA [3] which is a distributed and object-oriented technology. We describe an integrated network management architecture based on CORBA/CMIP gateway. The CORBA/CMIP gateway converts the management systems. We also describe how the CORBA managers access the OSI managed objects and how the events occurred in the OSI managed objects are delivered to the CORBA managers.
