The integration of the two recognized network management protocol standards, Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP), and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) technology, allows management applications to take advantage of distributed object computing as well as the standardized network management protocols.
This paper describes the Distributed Computing Platform (DCP) prototype developed in Nokia Research Center. The DCP prototype is a framework, including tools, compilers and gateways, built to support both Internet and OSI management through a CORBA infrastructure.
