  • Patent number: 6356955
    Abstract: A programming interface for converting network management application programs written in an object-oriented language into network communication protocols. The application programs manipulate managed objects specified according to GDMO/ASN.1 ISO standards. Methods are provided for mapping from GDMO templates and ASN.1 defined types into C++ programming language. The interface has both an object interface composing means for generating code which provides proxy managed object classes as local representatives for managed object classes, and a run time system means for providing proxy agent object classes as representatives for remote agents.
