TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe techniques for testing and verifying the functionality of networks and network devices without requiring the deployment of specialized testing components, and describe a test packet parameter called device configuration function exposed by a managed device.
Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for testing and verifying the functionality of networks and network devices without requiring the deployment of specialized testing components. For example, as described herein, a device management protocol (e.g., SNMP or NETCONF) typically used for remote configuration of devices has been extended to allow traffic patterns to be seamlessly injected into the existing network devices that form the enterprise network. For instance, a network management device sends configuration data to a managed network device in accordance with a device management protocol and calls, using a test packet parameter, a device configuration function exposed by a managed device. When the device configuration function is called, the managed device processes the test packet to produce a result in accordance with the configuration data as if the test packet had been received from the network, and the managed device returns a test packet processing result.

TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for a network communication protocol specifically directed to implementation of fault management between managers, agents and test objects in the network is presented, where agents can autonomously report test results to reduce manager responsibilities for improved operating efficiency.
Abstract: A system and method are provided for a network communication protocol specifically directed to implementation of fault management between managers, agents and test objects in the network. Timers for limiting the available times for implicit and explicit reports and instructions are provided to avoid excessive waits for instructions, responses or execution of the overall test. Agents can autonomously report test results to reduce manager responsibilities for improved operating efficiency.

TL;DR: MAGNET II is a testbed for integrated networks designed and implemented based on requirements of real-time network management and control and monitored and controlled by the traffic-control architecture of the network.
Abstract: MAGNET II is a testbed for integrated networks It was designed and implemented based on requirements of real-time network management and control Quality-of-service requirements explicitly appear in the design specifications of the network on the media access level Switching is based on the concept of asynchronous time sharing The core of the network distinguishes between three traffic classes The quality of service of these classes is monitored and controlled by the traffic-control architecture of the network Monitoring is supported by observation units distributed throughout the system The main network resources, switching bandwidth, communication bandwidth, and buffer space, are observable and controllable >

TL;DR: The design, architecture, and features of Hy + are described, along with a number of applications in software engineering and network management, that supports a novel visual query language called GraphLog.
Abstract: The Hy + system is a generic visualization tool that supports a novel visual query language called GraphLog. In Hy + , visualizations are based on a graphical formalism that allows comprehensible representations of databases, queries, and query answers to be interactively manipulated. This paper describes the design, architecture, and features of Hy + with a number of applications in software engineering and network management.
