Multi-Domain Network Monitoring System for End-to-End Connectivity

Abstract

With the growing scale size of networks and the complexities that follow, there is an increasing need for an end-to-end network management system for efficient monitoring of the system and having the best-in-class security, performance, and management features. This paper proposes an integrated network monitoring system that provides a single-window operation for end-to-end network management. The system is operated as a web application for stand-alone functioning. This eliminates most the dependencies, chances of failure and additional requirements that may lead to increased cost and decreased performance. The proposed system uses JavaScript for frontend and DHTMLx3.0 for the User Interface. Backend works on Java, Ajax, Hibernate, Apache Tomcat (webserver), Apache ActiveMQ (message queue), MTOSI (Multi-Technology Operations System Interface), CORBA TMF 814 and WebSwing. The different network technologies used and supported by the system for functioning are RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service), MPLS-TP, SDH, SONET, ONT, and GPON.
