A Script MIB based Java Policy Management System: Design and Implementation Report Frank Strauß Computer Science Department Technical University Braunschweig ¨ Bultenweg 74/75 38106 Braunschweig, Germany strauss@ibr.cs.tu-bs.de September 2001 Abstract Tasks 6.1 – 6.3 of the joint Jasmin Project between the Technical University of Braunschweig and NEC CC Research Laboratories scheduled for the time from January to August 2001 has been concerned with the design and implementation of a policy management system based on the Jasmin Script MIB implementation. While Deliverable 6.1 outlined the requirements and a general architecture in May 2001, this report documents the architecture and usage of the prototyped Java class packages for developping policy scripts and their adaption to DiffServ router configuration. An example is presented and final conlusions denote the deficiencies and probable future work. This report is heavily based on the concept report “Concept of a Script MIB based Policy Management System” [ 1] and the draft paper “Using the Script MIB for Policy-based Configuration Management” [2] submitted to NOMS-2002. 1 Introduction Policy based management is not a new area of research and engineering. It has been addressed in the past from the research point of view by several research groups, work- shops, and conferences [3, 4] and from the vendors’ point of view by some specific engineering and implementation efforts, e.g. [5]. 1 The goals of this project are some
