Rule base/validation network management having rules decision point/application point applied and management surcharge allowing application point validity check

摘要

The network management system (NMS) has management rules (PM) associated with an assembly of rules. The rules are transmitted to application points (PEP1 to PEP4) after passing decision points (PDP1 to PDP2). The rule management has a surcharge allowing validation of the application points ability to operate the rules.
