Hence it is a more accurate accounting method than traditional IP address oriented accounting method. In this paper, we present the technology of the user oriented IP accounting, and describe the principle of this method, and the realization considerations.","PeriodicalId":273743,"journal":{"name":"IFIP/IEEE Eighth International Symposium on Integrated Network Management, 2003.","volume":"135 21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121027353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It identifies how much capacity is needed to match future traffic demand. It directly affects customer satisfaction and revenues. In this work we present a network usage analysis tool called Dynamic Netvalue Analyzer (DNA), which helps alleviate a big problem that network engineers and marketing executives face - making optimal resource investment decisions. Marketing executives have to project customer growth while network engineers have to project traffic volume based on the entire customer population. DNA helps the prediction process by presenting actual network usage data from a business perspective, in a form that is useful to both network engineers and marketing executives. Using these projections, decisions on how to upgrade resources can be made. We show that information from DNA can be used to: (1) quantify revenue earned on each link; (2) quantify return-on-investment on performing a link upgrade; and (3) quantify the loss due to customer dissatisfaction when a link is not upgraded. We also illustrate how these formulations based on business information can be used to improve capacity planning decisions.","PeriodicalId":273743,"journal":{"name":"IFIP/IEEE Eighth International Symposium on Integrated Network Management, 2003.","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127039261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With this service, different devices connected to different networks offering different types of data and communication services can be integrated and handled in a straightforward way. It allows the usage of multiple devices simultaneously and the possibility of adding, removing or changing devices in a service session. The Device Unifying Service addresses personal service management for both communication services and data services. Communication services like a normal telephone call can for example easily be transferred from a fixed telephone to a mobile telephone or an IP telephone with multimedia capabilities with the Device Unifying Service. Additionally, a data service like a Web browsing session can be transferred from a PC to a laptop or PDA including cached information like history and bookmarks. Providing an easy way of moving services between devices, the Device Unifying Service thus fulfils the vision of service portability in an elegant way. This paper presents the concept of the Device Unifying Service, a novel service that will take care of the management, coordination and configuration of all the devices that the user has at his disposal and provide service portability and adaptation of services to devices with different characteristics. Furthermore, this paper reveals how the first version of the Device Unifying Service has been implemented using Parlay API and H.323 technologies.","PeriodicalId":273743,"journal":{"name":"IFIP/IEEE Eighth International Symposium on Integrated Network Management, 2003.","volume":"163 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115172941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is needed to ensure that the network operates within the required parameters, and to account for user activities and resource consumption. In the SNMP paradigm, network management systems have been structured using a two-tier architecture with managers being thick clients, and the target agents being thin servers. This architecture may be unreliable at times since it depends on the management station having an access to the targets. Network distance between the manager and the network elements also imposes high overhead traffic, large processing overheads, and long control loops. To overcome these drawbacks, distributed network management architectures based on a middleware layer were proposed. However, such approaches suffer both from the need to modify network elements, and the high (and sometime hard to predict) overhead and complexity. In this paper we study a solution based on a lightweight middleware architecture that aims primarily at improving availability and efficiency of monitoring applications. We describe the Highly Available Monitoring Services Architecture (HAMSA), present its implementation details, and evaluate its performance. Specifically, we demonstrate how the system can be easily deployed and used for several monitoring applications. HAMSA allows a high level of availability and abstraction, with relatively low overhead.","PeriodicalId":273743,"journal":{"name":"IFIP/IEEE Eighth International Symposium on Integrated Network Management, 2003.","volume":"25 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113962546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
