Abstract

Rapid growth of computer network leading to converging necessitates management of servers by a server. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) based management cannot be used for the converged network management due to its limitations and relatively simple monitoring. Therefore alternative technologies are required to meet various goals such as scalability, security, educed development and operational cost, etc. Web service along with object oriented approach such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and Java seems to be promising approach for tighter system integration and robust device management. Based on the above, a prototype of Web Based Server of Server (WBSOS) has been designed. It implements two servers, DHCP and NETCONF and the database is stored in a centralized location in an RDBMS. NETCONF is being implemented using Web Services Description Language (WSDL) that imports the definitions of XML types and elements from the base NETCONF schema. Various issues regarding performance of web services developed using Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) with reference to WBSOS will be discussed and accordingly various system configurations will be proposed in this paper.
