Management communication

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for improving management communication. One or more performance parameter measurements may be received by a throughput optimisation system wherein the one or more performance parameters relate to one or more communication links between one or more management applications and one or more managed entities, and the one or more performance parameters provide an indication of a performance of the one or more communication links. The throughput optimisation system may adapt one or more system parameters for the one or more management applications which are performing one or more active management tasks based on the received one or more performance parameters relating to the one or more communication links.

1. A method comprising:
receiving by one or more processors of a network management system, one or more performance parameters that are related to and indicate a performance of one or more communication links between one or more management applications and one or more managed entities; receiving by the one or more processors, a notification of one or more scheduled management tasks; determining when to activate said one or more scheduled management tasks; instructing said one or more management applications that said one or more active management tasks can be activated; tuning one or more system parameters for said one or more management applications which are performing said one or more active management tasks based on said received one or more performance parameters, the one or more system parameters includes at least one of: a transfer limit of one of the active management tasks, a transfer limit of one of the management applications, a bandwidth of one of the active management tasks, and a bandwidth of one of the management applications; and applying the one or more tuned system parameters to the one or more management applications which are performing the one or more active management tasks on the one or more managed entities over said one or more communications links.
