Software Architecture Of A Network Fault Management System In Real Time

This paper describes an software architecture of an integrated network Fault Management system, which monitors the service fault and outage alarms in real time fashion. In addition, the performance evaluation is conducted. The response time is recorded and studied by employing WAS (Web Application Stress Tool) with Windows 2000 server operating system in a networked distributed system. The simulated environment involves an isolated LAN with 100 Mb bandwidth and the deployment of 16 Windows 2000 Servers as regional network data operators. The adoption of SonicMQ provides the pub/sub mechanism to publish the GUI Map into display in real time. The Orbix Notification Server is used to receive the simulated alarms from the network system. After the data correlation process, the output and correlated data will be saved into SQL database of Framework Server and then data will be published into Service Side SQL tables, e.g. Node, Facility and Service tables. After,.analysis of Alarm Analyzer, Alarm Publisher will send the result through SonicMQ Pub/Sub server to a simulated display, which is Message Monitor in this project. This work benchmarks the performance of a simulated Network Fault management application in real time by employing WAS - Web Stress Test Tool.
