Automated Integrated Communications Systems (AICS) Integrated Network Manager Prototype Documentation.
Abstract
This report documents the Integrated Network Manager (INM) prototype development and integration effort, undertaken as part of the FY 96 Automated Integrated Communications Systems (AICS) program. The AICS architecture describes a hierarchy of INMs, where local operations centers (LOCs), the INMs at the lowest level of the hierarchy, are responsible for the communications/network assets under their purview. The AICS architecture is primarily targeted for an environment where INMs are commonly separated from other INMs by RF links. The INM prototype work centered on development of the AICS Management Application (AMA). The ultimate vision for AICS is a highly automated network management system where its functions are implemented using standards-based management protocols, and where many operations are carried out in a virtually unattended mode. The prototype INM provides a working example demonstrating aspects of this ultimate vision, and provides a starting point for development of a network management system that can evolve with new technology.
