Abstract: A network management control device includes a link information storing unit that stores information about connections between nodes belonging to respective networks that are controlled by different protocols. The network management control device receives an input of the configuration information about each of the networks. The network management control device then generates combined information between different protocols, based on the information stored in the link information storing unit about connections between nodes and the received network configuration information. After that, the network management control device performs provisioning in accordance with the generated combined information between the different protocols.

Abstract: A network monitor and control apparatus for controlling the monitoring of a network are provided. The network monitor includes an error monitor including an error information gatherer for gathering error information of a monitor target apparatus; and a monitor result notifier for notifying of monitor results, wherein if there are N types of monitor target functions, the error monitor includes N error information gatherers for the respective N types of monitor target functions (N=1, 2, 3, . . . ) and wherein each of the N error information gatherers gathers the error information from one of an existing monitor target apparatus and a newly added monitor target apparatus on a per monitor target function basis.
