FILE TRANSFER SCHEDULING ON NETWORK ELEMENTS USING SWIM FRAMEWORK

File Transfer Scheduling (FTS) is an application in a network management system which is used to launch multiple File transfer session between a network management system and a managed Network Element (NE). The FTS application superv ises parallel NE software download or NE Management Information Base (MIB) backup sessions for multiple supported NEs. FTS operations are based on “JOB”, which can be defined as a descriptor file which contains list of NEs and all the parameters required f or action to be scheduled. This paper proposes a system which could be used for file transfer operations using SWIM framework.
