Real World Southbound Management Solutions
In Network Management, there is always one or more high level applications that manage a network and its elements. These high level applications obtain the information about the network elements and correlate them for effective network management. In a typical networked environment, a Network Management System monitors the activities of all the devices attached to the Network. At any time, the NMS would require the status and the performance of the network elements. The NMS needs to monitor one or more Element Management Systems irrespective of the protocols used by the EMS.
