Abstract
An architecture for integrating the Virtual Path service into the network management system of future broadband networks is presented. Complete definitions and behavioral descriptions of Managed Object Classes are given. An experimental platform on top of the XUNET III ATM network provides the proof of concept. The Xunet manager is equipped with the necessary monitoring tools for evaluating the performance of the network and controls for changing the parameters of the VP connection services. Performance data from Xunet is presented to highlight the issues underlying the fundamentals of the operation of the VP management model such as the trade-off between throughput and call processing load.
