Design and Verification of the NSIS-Based Network Management Signaling Protocol

An NSIS-based extendable network management protocol is proposed,of which the service primitives and data units are defined to implement the main communication process and management operation procedure of the protocol.The proposed protocol are described and formatted with Petri nets,with the logic correctness and performance of the protocol verified.The results of simulation with NS-2 for the whole protocol and relevant verification showed that the NSIS-based network management protocol has not only the IP flexibility, but also the high efficiency of signaling,thus ensuring the safe and reliable transmission of management information to fulfill the requirements for new-generation network management of the IP-based multi-service network.
