Process Optimization Time for a Service in 4G Network by SNMP Monitoring and IaaS Cloud Computing

This paper discusses the energy consumption problem of 4G network devices that use a much higher energy compared to the 3G network for example, due to heavy applications that require multiple resources.To overcome this problem, a combination was proposed between network monitoring in 4G, which is based on SNMP protocol for sorting equipment available in the network and use them in an IaaS cloud computing. This combination permits having a minimized time activity of a process and therefore reduces the energy consumed by a client for asked service.

Web Cache Design and Implementation for Efficient SNMP Monitoring towards Internet-Scale Network Management

In this paper, we propose an SNMP-aware web cache design that has two main objectives: (1) to avoid overload of network devices by SNMP requests, and (2) guaranteeing the monitoring time granularity of SNMP Object Identifiers (OID) for a large scale network such as the Internet. To meet these objectives, a cache is built into an RESTful active proxy, called Tambourine, which is the gateway for accessing management information through the Internet. Tambourine changes the landscape of traditional SNMP monitoring by allowing the Internet users to monitor closed-domain network devices through translating requests in HTTP into SNMP. However, the typical web cache algorithm can not be used in Tambourine due to two main reasons: (1) SNMP is not a cache-aware protocol and therefore can not provide Tambourine with the caching rules that need to be applied, and (2) the cache in Tambourine needs to accommodate two SNMP monitoring patterns: periodic and on-demand polling. In order for efficient periodic polling, SNMP traffic is reduced by a multi-TTL cache and user (or Manager)-side aggregation. For efficient on-demand polling, four-state transition is used to categorize OIDs into dynamic and static objects, each of which is allocated an optimum TTL. To provide users with a proper time stamp, the cache time stamp is included in the response to the users' request. Our experiments show that our cache design gives the staleness of 0 and a bounded number of SNMP requests even when the number of users' requests goes to infinity.

Geographic extension of HIPPI channels via high speed SONET

The article first briefly reviews the relevant aspects of standard HIPPI channel operation, ad hoc serial HIPPI channel extension, and the rationale for HIPPI channel extension over WANs, and provides a description of standard STS-12c SONET (STM-4c). HIPPI over SONET encapsulation protocol, reliable flow control method and performance, and the actual implementation are then described, including maintenance needs such as SNMP monitoring, laser lifetime monitoring, and loopback functions. Concluding comments cover the status of the HIPPI-SONET development effort, other HIPPI-SONET developments, and the need and approach to providing HIPPI-ATM-SONET connectivity via adaptation of HIPPI-PH packets to standard ATM protocols.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
