Abstract

The paper proposes a network management system architecture based on a geographical information system that allows accurate description and inventorying of the infrastructure. The system contains several models that emulate real life operational networks based on fiber optics, copper and WiFi technologies. The architecture is implemented in a network management systems application and a number of interesting performance and design problems encountered during the implementation are presented along with their solutions.
