Abstract
Network management and network design often work at opposite ends. Clearly, a network which uses shortest path routes and has components at 10% utilization will be easy to manage but will be horribly expensive. On the other hand, if the network is so tightly designed that it nudges the line separating optimality from unfeasibility then the network is unstable and a management nightmare. In order for neither situation to occur it is necessary that network design tools interoperate with network management tools. In this paper we describe a system which allows for the integration of network management and network design. We specifically discuss extensions to the network management needed for design tools to be tightly coupled in a network management system.
