This paper describes the development of a formalism to represent Network Topology Information that provides hierarchical views of the network elements distribution, usable with advantage by management applications. It reviews some topology discovery tools and emphasizes the lack of a common methodology to represent the network cabling and organize the agent distribution information. The formalism, consisting on a descriptive language and on an object-oriented topology base, is described and some application areas, where this information can be used, are pointed. Finally it presents a Management API, as part of the overall architecture, that helps to show the usability of the Topology Information Base. |
