Abstract

The paper is devoted to the current state and development plans of the monitoring and control system of the National Research Computer Network of Russia (NIKS). Some aspects of industry standards, best practice-based procedures and methodologies for network management, including FCAPS, eTOM, ITIL are briefly discussed. An overview of collaborative National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) experience in network monitoring and management is given, key functions of Network Operations Centers and examples of commercial and free program solutions used in real practice are provided. A general architecture and individual components of the monitoring and control system of NIKS taking into account the planned modernization are presented.
