Java Skyline Networking: 2000 and beyond

While you're trying to find the new Sun JMX (Java Management Extensions) reference platform, here are some recent network and network management topics well worth exploring. Will JMX cover it?

DWDM: Waving at the next millenium Visions of faster networks are on the minds of many as communications and networking companies convene in Brigthon, UK at TMA32, Nov 28th - Dec 2. DWDM, Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing is an emerging technology that transforms optical fibre into multiple virtual fibres. Data Communications calls it a "revolution." They continue to provide and update coverage of DWDM: See the New Public Network index page in Data Communications, October 1998 through August 1999 (so far).

Now and DEN I hear a CIM phoney...Sun releases its first JMX beta - and on Network Computing, Bruce Boardman relates oddities of the odessey of CIM.
About the weather, Mark Twain is supposed to have said "everyone talks about it but nobody does anything about it." If Twain had lived in the last decade, he might have said much the same about SNMP. Can the DMTF tack a pretty OO face onto the old non-OO body of SNMP? Are WBEM and CIM "the network management solution" we're all looking for?

This year, 70 DEN companies marched into the DMTF to watch and hopefully help CIM evole into CIM 2.2, the standard that is supposed to provide object oriented directory enabled network management.

But is anyone going to actually use it? Bruce Boardman please tell us! Network Computing, October 1999.

However, Sun does have a WBEM SDK and product out, and has just released it's first JMX beta - both for Solaris. "Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it" is to somehow navigate through the maze of Sun's web site and find them, and down load them.

Hint: If you don't want to have to hunt, go here (JMX) and here (Solaris 7 WBEM) instead. In the mean time, I'll disavow any knowledge of your actions.

What do you want to measure today? Maybe it's quality. Take a look at PBNM, QoS and COPS
PBNM, Policy-based network management and QoS (Quality of Service) define new methods and metrics for network control and management based on COPS (Common Open Policy Server) protocol. COPS offers advantages over SNMP. Network Computing provides extensive coverage and comparison of PBNM vendors, see Policy Based Network Management, Nov 29, 1999 by Joel Conover.
