Abstract: A system and method of replicating changed data between an active process and a standby process is provided. The active and standby processes each include an application and a processor having memory. The method includes organizing active and standby processor memories into regions, with each region including one or more tuples, datamarking the tuples having changed data in the active processor corresponding to the active application, and transferring copies of the changed data from the active process to the standby process to replicate data between the active and standby processors. The system includes means for datamarking changed data and transferring copies of the changed data between active and standby processes having active and standby processors configured as mated pairs.

Abstract: A telecommunications network(10) having a distributive network management system(20) for remotely managing the plurality of network elements(38) has a management computer, or work station(22) with a management program communicating through the Internet by via managed object commands. An element management server(24) communicates through the computer Internet with the plurality of network elements(38) via a simplified network management protocol, or SNMP, to communicate management information concerning the plurality of network elements(38). The managed objects are responsive to managed object commands from the management computer(22) to provide the management information to the management program and to take actions as directed. Commands are composed in EMAPI notation to render them independent of any protocol used between the element manager server(24) and the managed network elements(38). Communications between the management computer(22) and the element manager server(24) utilizes CORBA.

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a network element from a client at a remote work station connectable to the network, the network, element is registered for attributes to be tracked, and attributes associated with the network element are polled only if the client requests the monitoring of the network element.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a method is provided for remotely managing a plurality of network element of a telecommunications network through a special communication link including a computer internet such as a local area network, the world wide web or the Internet. A management computer is connected to an element management system server through a communication link including the computer internet. At least one of the plurality of network elements is also coupled to the element management server through the computer internet and the at least one of the plurality of network elements is managed via communications conveyed through the element management server between the management computer and the at least one network element.
