The last few years have been marked by a significant and
worldwide growth in
the demand for telecommunications services. Such scenery
of network expansion
and the need for coexistence and interoperability of
different technologies in
an economically viable way provides great challenges for
the management,
operation and maintenance of telecommunications networks.
This work presents some of the main network management
models and
paradigms traditionally employed in telecommunications
networks and that still
count with wide adoption in the industry as of this day.
Many of the presented
models have been significantly influenced by concepts and
techniques originated
in the software engineering field. A great emphasis is
particularly given to the
use of network management techniques based on software
agents. To this end,
important concepts of software agents are presented, as
well as examples of
works where software agents are used in the network
management domain.
Finally, an architecture based on software agents used for
fault management in
legacy telecommunications networks, which are usually
managed by centralized
systems, is proposed. The main objective of this
architecture is to allow the
diagnosis and the correction of network faults in a way
not to overload the
centralized management system. To this end, the
architecture uses software
agents that distribute information maintained in the
centralized management
system to other agents of the system. In such way, it is
possible for the
agents responsible for executing the fault diagnosis and
correction procedures
to perform their activities without the necessity for
direct communication with
the centralized system.
