Summary :

This paper proposes a new approach to the management of large-scale communication networks. To manage large-scale communication networks effectively, it is essential to get a bird's-eye view of them when they are in their normal conditions. When an indication of faulty state is detected, the focus of the management is narrowed down to the faulty network elements until the appropriate granularity is reached. This management scheme is called multilevel network management in this paper, and it first explains the significance of this scheme for large-scale communication networks and presents some ideas on implementing this management scheme. It then proposes that system identification be used in multilevel network management. The system identification is used to measure transmission delays between two arbitrarily selected nodes in the networks, and multilevel network management is achieved by selecting those two nodes appropriately in accordance with the levels to be managed. Finally, it is demonstrated by computation simulation results that the proposed method is suitable for multilevel network management.
