Network Management Tasks 2
2. Performance and Fault Management
Performance management means ensuring the network is operating as efficiently as possible. Improving network performance is its essence.
Fault management means preventing, detecting and correcting any faults in the network circuits, hardware and software.
Both require network monitoring.
Network monitoring means monitoring
- 1. Physical Network Parameters (monitoring the operation of the networks modems, multiplexers, circuits etc..)
- 2. Logical Network Parameters (monitoring user response times, volume of traffic on circuits and other indications of the service levels)
