    摘要: The network device is described that comprises an allocator to adaptively allocate respective event message rate limits to client network devices that is in communication with an event-based system logging server to send event messages to the logging server for processing. The adaptively allocated event message rate limits are communicated to the client network devices so that limiting of a global rate of event messages received by the logging server comprises limiting the respective rates at which the client network devices can transmit event messages to the logging server. Measurement of respective event message rates comprises a count of event messages actually received by the logging server from the corresponding client device within a defined time window.

    摘要: A system and technique for visualizing changes and trends in performance data over a network path are disclosed. More specifically, a network management system generates and displays an object that represents data for one or more performance characteristics related to a plurality of network nodes in the network path. The object is dynamically updated to include updated data related to the one or more performance characteristics. In one embodiment, a representation of the updated data is superimposed over representations of previously collected data relating to the performance characteristics. The transparency of the representations associated with the previously collected data may reflect a difference in time between the current time and the time at which the data was collected. In another embodiment, a timeline is included in the object that tracks the state of the object at one or more previous points in time.

    摘要: A method, device, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for automatically activating a probe configured to generate test network traffic in response to evaluating a policy that accounts for aggregated information that describes traffic that was processed by a network device. The method includes storing a policy, and evaluating the policy based at least in part on an item of received aggregated information that describes a set of packets that were processed by the network device and sent or received on a network. The probe is activated at least partially in response to evaluating the policy. The probe generates test packets to emulate one or more applications, services, or devices communicating on the network.

    摘要: Techniques for system (syslog) messages are provided. As syslog messages are generated a dual sequence number is maintained for each syslog message. The first sequence number is consistent for each syslog message and represents a total number of syslog messages received. The second sequence number is maintained as a total message count for a specific session for which a syslog message is assigned.

    摘要: A method includes receiving a request to provision a path associated with at least a portion of a packet network and determining whether a router is associated with the path in the packet network. The method also includes provisioning a first connection between a first gateway and a second gateway when the router is not associated with the path. The method further includes provisioning a second connection between the first gateway and the router and a third connection between the router and the second gateway when the router is associated with the path. In addition, the method includes at least one of associating and disassociating a first endpoint of the first gateway and a second endpoint of the second gateway with one or more of the connections.

    摘要: A method for managing packet voice networks using a virtual switch approach and abstract information model approach is disclosed. A virtual switch object represents a virtual switch having a media gateway controller and one or more associated media gateways. User input specifies a configuration operation on the virtual switch and one or more parameter values. One or more configuration instructions are automatically issued to both the media gateway controller and the media gateway, resulting in configuring both the media gateway controller and the media gateway as specified in the user input. As a result, a user can configure or operate on a virtual switch as an atomic entity, for example, in a network management application, without involvement in complicated details of the actual network devices that provide a particular packet voice service.

    摘要: Event processing in rate limited network devices is described. An event receiver is notified of a backlog condition and may respond by increasing the rate limit for the network device. If an event queue on the network device overflows, event messages may be diverted to an event message overflow store or to a network location. Later, the messages may be retrieved after the overflow condition has cleared. As a result, critical messages or events such as Syslog messages are not lost when a rate limited network device cannot deliver the messages to a network management station.

    摘要翻译: 描述了限速网络设备中的事件处理。 事件接收器被通知积压状态,并且可以通过增加网络设备的速率限制来做出响应。 如果网络设备上的事件队列溢出,则事件消息可能会转移到事件消息溢出存储或网络位置。 之后,可以在溢出条件清除之后检索消息。 因此,当速率有限的网络设备无法将消息传递到网络管理站时,诸如Syslog消息之类的关键消息或事件不会丢失。
