INTEGRATED APPROACH TO CENTRALIZED COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK MANAGEMENT

Recent technological advances have increased the size and number of teleprocessing networks as well as broadened their scope and complexity. This added size and complexity has magnified the need for communications network management. One approach to communications network management is to provide centralized control which is integrated into the Systems Network Architecture user network. This approach is described by focusing on two program products that provide centralized operator control and problem determination capabilities for a network.
