RESEARCH ON A NEW NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROXY BASED ON MULTITECHNOLOGY NETWORK MANAGEMENT

The main protocol that is currently used for managing computer networks is known as SNMP. The main advantages of applying this protocol in computer equipments and networks are its simplicity and widespread usage. Nevertheless, despite these advantages, using this protocol will be faced with serious challenges, especially in networks with a wide range network devices and high traffic rate. There have been provided several techniques in order to overcome problems of the protocol, which one of the best available techniques is a standard under name MTNM that it has been proposed as a solution suite and it has been formed according to distributed architecture, COBRA. This article aim is to provide designing and implementing a proxy based on such a standard. The main task of the proxy is to exploit data by using SNMP commands, in order to locate at available data structures in MTNM solution suite. The results analysis will show the better performance of the proxy than SNMP protocol, based on volume of traffic produced and run time
