METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BUNDLING MULTIPLE LOGGER EVENTS

摘要

A system, method, apparatus and mechanisms for detecting traps triggered by Label Switch Path (LSP) interface events, determining the corresponding event characteristics, associating the detected traps with a bitmap marker indicative of their respective event characteristics, and bundling together bitmaps having common markers to provide thereby respective bundles of common logger events adapted for bulk transmission to a management system.

1. A method for trap management at a network element of a communication network, comprising:
detecting traps triggered associated with Label Switch Path (LSP) interface events; determining an event characteristic for each detected trap; associating each detected trap with a marker indicative of the respective determined event characteristic, said marker being cached via a respective bitmap; compressing bitmaps associated with common markers to thereby form bundles of common logger events; and periodically transmitting common logger event bundles toward a network management system (NMS).
