CMIS/CMIP
CMIS (Common Management Information Service) is the network management service of ISO / ITU-T, that every component of the network is offering to network management
CMIP (Common Management Information Protocol) is the corresponding protocol, implementing CMIS in a network and enabling the communications between the manager and the managed components
According to the principles of OSI, CMIS and CMIP were designed to be omnipotent, covering all possible manage-ment needs
This lead into their becoming so heavy that they have not gained wide acceptance
CMIP is an application layer protocol in the OSI model consisting of service elements CMISE (Common Management Information Service Element), ACSE (Association Control SE) and ROSE (Remote Operations Service Element)
