On the Potential of Web Services in Network Management

Abstract:

These days, Web services, which are based on XML and consist of several XML-related technologies, have been emerging as a promising technology, and it seems that Web services may be used in the field of network management. In this paper, we examine Web services as a XML-based approach to network management. Since Web services are a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) more than just a set of technologies, it could be used in XML-based network management, not only at the technology level, but also at the architecture level, which has many remarkable advantages and may be more effective in network management along with the concepts of Peer-to-Peer and Point-to-Point, in order to make a better use of its capability. Correspondingly, two models are presented to further demonstrate the potential of Web services in XML-based network management. Some implementation issues for the model at the architecture level are also demonstrated in this paper.
