Message-based Asynchronous Communication Mechanism In The Design And Implementation Of Network Management

Asynchronous communication has become a popular strategy to resolvebusiness problems concerning communication between homogeneous andheterogeneous hosts. Message-based asynchronous communication can reducethe couple of two utilities. An application sends a request, then continues its ownprocessing, while the receiver handles the request asynchronously. There are twoforms of asynchronous message-based communication: queue-basedcommunication and publish-subscribe-based communication. A message carriesinformation used within a single enterprise's business processes.With the rapid development of technology, telecommunication networkmanagement system faces new challenges, such as interoperability andinterlinkage. At present, network management consists of large-scale andtight-coupled application modules. These tight-coupled applications restrict themanagement ability, increase the complexity, and influence the quality of service,so, ITU_T bring forward TMN.ZTE OMC (operation and maintenance center) is based on TMN. All thecommunications between OMC's components are both asynchronous andsynchronous; on the other hand, in order to deduce the couple of diffrentecomponent, we designed this message-based asynchronous communicationmodule, which is a lightweight communication component. It can be extensivelyused in other network management systems, provide substrate transport platformfor information exchange between mobile switch module and maintenancemodule. OMC's other modules also can communicate with each other throughthis massage module.Because the interface of the OMC's network_element (ne) is different,information comes from the network management application should beconverted through adaptor to adapt to the ne; and information comes from the neshould be converted to be understood by the App.This message system isdesigned based on framework,can be separated as tow parts: the Framework andthe Route Process Module .The framework is the common module of all thenetworke management system; the route process module is product relevant.Every route process module relevant to the special net element and can be...
