Multiattribute transport protocol (MATP) for communication equipment management system

Abstract

The invention relates to a multiattribute transport protocol (MATP) for a communication equipment management system. The frame structure of the protocol comprises a frame header and an attribute data package, wherein the attribute data package comprises an attribute common header and an attribute data group; the attribute data group comprises N attribute data packages; N is not less than 1; and each attribute data package comprises an attribute header and attribute data. The MATP has the following beneficial effects: the protocols are a set of presentation layer and application layer protocols based on a transmission control protocol / internet protocol (TCP / IP) session layer and the protocols are formulated for network equipment management; the protocols are used for a network management system (NMS) to interact with all the network equipment in the same network so that the NMS can achieve the aim of conveniently and flexibly managing all the network equipment in the same network; the protocols are only related to the TCP / IP and can operate across the operating system; and the protocols have the advantages of high transmission rate, high reliability and efficiency, strong expansibility and simple structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a network equipment management protocol, and more particularly, to a multi-attribute transmission protocol for a communication equipment management system, which is used for configuration management data interaction between a network management system and a network equipment. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of network technology, the scale of the network has expanded rapidly, and the complexity of the network has increased significantly. Therefore, the reliability, availability, stability, scalability and maintenance costs of network operation are particularly important. However, a large number of various network devices also bring many management problems to network managers. Therefore, it is very important to formulate a simple, reliable, flexible and scalable device management protocol. [0003] Many network equipment management systems today generally use the following netw...

Problems solved by technology

SNMP is currently the most widely used network management protocol in the TCP / IP network. It is easy to use and uses the UDP protocol as the transmission protocol. However, UDP is a connectionless transmission protocol with poor reliability, especially in the management of large and complex networks. It is difficult to achieve a large amount of data transmission when it is connected to its network equipment, and management data packets are prone to packet loss

[0006] The above two management protocols are general-purpose protocols with redundant functions, complex structures, poor flexibility, low transmission efficiency, and occupy more system resources
