Fault Management and Performance Management of Network Management System Based on Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Agent

with rapid growth in networks and change in demands of network management causes data insufficiency and irrelevancy. For managing networks and demand of changing requirements from various customers, Network Management System (NMS) is technique to reduce overheads of the network. NMS will surely provide reliability, availability and relevancy for networks if demands change. The current SNMP network management system has not been able to meet requirements, Therefore new strategy and technique must be provided to meet reliability, availability and maintainability of network. A new Operation & maintenance agent (O&M agent) has been introduced to meet performance of the network management. This paper will discuss about various aspects of NMS in terms of O&M Agents improving SNMP network management system and will also discuss about fault management and performance management in NMS through O&M Agent.
