SIP协议在分布式网络管理中的应用研究

Application of SIP in Distributed Network Management

为支持大规模分布式网络管理及网络设备的移动性,对网络管理和SIP协议进行了研究,提出了将SIP协议与网络管理协议相结合的方法和体系结构。在该体系结构中,SIP协议具有强大的会话发起能力,可以灵活协调网络管理中各实体的交互,并提供应用层上的移动性支持;同时具有封装网络管理命令及响应的功能,可实现数据聚合,节省网络带宽。这种方法具有良好的可扩展性和灵活性,可为大规模分布式网络管理提供一个良好的平台。

In order to support large scale distributed network management and mobility of devices, this paper investigates network management and SIP, then proposes a method and architecture that integrates SIP and network management protocol. In this architecture, SIP has the power of session initiating. It can organize mutual communication of entities in network management and supports mobility on application layer. It also has the function of encapsulating network management requests and responses to realize data aggregation and saves bandwidth. This method is very extendable and flexible. It provides a good architecture for large scale distributed network management.
