One view of the advantage of using a system like CORBA to manage a
network is that this in the long run will lead to several
advances in networks:
-
Systems management (which is often distributed already) can be
usefully combined with network management, and save on resources and
expertise.
-
Distributed Systems cvan provide common interfaces for applications
to some communications functions such as signaling, bandwidth
management and so on.
-
Distributed systems are the bassis for the applications themselves,
and so new network services which require distributed functionality
can be added more easily when the network management system is a
distributed system.
