Integrated Network Management

This work provides practical coverage of management communications standards, functional areas, information standards and guidelines for the implementation of standards-based management systems. It offers advice on: interpreting OSI management standards and their application to the design of network systems; evaluating network products and their capabilities; implementing OSI-based systems; planning a phases migration from current network management practices to the OSI model; setting up management information libraries; and planning for the implementation of broadband networks; and the use of AI and fuzzy logic for network decision support.
