Abstract: Optical burst switching network is a long term potential broadband network with new optical switching technology. It is a very important task to study management scheme in OBS network which is an important means to study the characteristics of the network. This paper studies the model of SNMP network management in OBS network, according to which the design of embedded agent is analyzed. Through user-defined serial interface, the embedded agent can monitor local equipments, and through SNMP, it exchanges information with the network management system. And procedure of embedded agent software is provided on UCDSNMP software development package.
