Title:
NETWORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING MODEL-BASED INTELLIGENCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1992005485
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A computer system comprises a virtual network (12) including a plurality of models for representing network entities, each model containing network data relating to a corresponding network entity and means for processing said network data to provide user information, the virtual network further including models model relations between said network entities. The system also has means (14,18) for transferring network data from said network entities to the corresponding models in the virtual network (12) and means (10) for supplying the suser information from the virtual network (12).
