SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING NETWORK BY VALUE-BASED ESTIMATION

摘要

A network management system and a method thereof are provided to manage a network based on the value of a network apparatus, thereby making network management considering characteristics of the network apparatus possible. A value-based network management system(10) comprises the followings: a value estimating part(101) collecting information about the value of network equipment; a storage(102) storing the value of the network equipment delivered from the value estimating part; a policy judging part(103) which compares the value of the network equipment, estimated at present, with the required value of the network equipment, delivered from a manager, to judge whether to apply the required value of the network equipment; and a policy executing part(104) which transmits a command for requesting the change into the required value to the network equipment, if the application is decided.
