An embedded Web server architecture for XML-based network management

Embedded Web servers are widely used today for IP-based element management. In this paper, we present a new management architecture that combines this technology with XML, DOM, and XPath to unify element management and network management. XML is used for both management information modeling and manager-agent communication. By taking advantage of modern Web technologies, the proposed architecture provides a method to develop management applications efficiently and to manage network devices effectively. We also explain how legacy SNMP agents are integrated into our proposed architecture. Keywords Web-Based Management, Network Management, XML, DOM, XPath, SNMP.
