Abstract
Abstract A system and method for network management, including a message handling process, having a network manager and at least one network element is described. The network management messaging system sends and receives multiple concurrent messages between the network element layer and the network management layer. Support of concurrent messaging greatly speeds and simplifies network management. A client request is received at a first managed object, at least part of the client request is fulfilled by a second managed object. A major row is created in response to receiving the client request, and a minor row associated with a managed object request sent to the second managed object. The minor row has an index that associates the minor row with the major row, and correlates a response to the managed object request with the client request.

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
In a network management system having a network manager and at least one network element, a message handling process, comprising the steps of: receiving a client request, from a client application, at a first managed object; determining if said client request can be fulfilled at said first managed object; generating a managed object request corresponding to said client request at said first managed object in response if said step of determining determines that said client request can not be fulfilled at first managed object; sending said managed object request to a second managed object; receiving a managed object response from said second managed object; generating a client response fulfilling said client request; and sending said client response to said client application.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
In a network management system having a network manager and at least one network element, a message handling process, comprising the steps of: receiving a client request, from a client application, at a first managed object; determining if said client request can be fulfilled at said first managed object; generating a managed object request corresponding to said client request at said first managed object in response if said step of determining determines that said client request can not be fulfilled at first managed object; sending said managed object request to a second managed object; receiving a managed object response from said second managed object; generating a client response fulfilling said client request; and sending said client response to said client application.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
In a network management system having a network manager and at least one network element, a message handling system, comprising: means for receiving a client request, from a client application, at a first managed object; means for determining if said client request can be fulfilled at said first managed object; means for generating a managed object request corresponding to said client request at said first managed object in response if said step of determining determines that said client request can not be fulfilled at first managed object; means for sending said managed object request to a second managed object; means for receiving a managed object response from said second managed object; generating a client response fulfilling said client request; and means for sending said client response to said client application.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
In a network management system having a network manager and at least one network element, a message handling system, comprising: means for receiving a client request, from a client application, at a first managed object; means for determining if said client request can be fulfilled at said first managed object; means for generating a managed object request corresponding to said client request at said first managed object in response if said step of determining determines that said client request can not be fulfilled at first managed object; means for sending said managed object request to a second managed object; means for receiving a managed object response from said second managed object; generating a client response fulfilling said client request; and means for sending said client response to said client application.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
