Abstract :
A description is given of the Network Management Analysis and Testing Environment (NETMATE) project, the prime goal of which is to develop a unified and comprehensive software environment for network management to oversee and orchestrate the operations of diverse devices and protocols in large, heterogeneous computer networks. The overall NETMATE architecture is discussed, and the network management functions performed by each component are described. The problem of network modeling and the NETMATE approach to it are presented. The current implementation status of NETMATE is given, and some conclusions are offered.<>
