ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling command line transfer to a network element. The method and apparatus allow for transfer of command lines such as command lines in the Transaction Language 1 syntax, to a designated network element based upon a wait duration as well as based upon the maximum number of outstanding command lines for which acknowledgement has not yet been received from the network element to whom the command line was directed. As long as the maximum number of outstanding unacknowledged command lines is less than the maximum number set, command lines are transferred to the network element after waiting an amount of time equal to the wait duration. The overall result is that command lines can be directed to network elements with assurance that the commands will be properly executed by the network element. Furthermore, the network element can, to the extent that the command line causes a change in an equipment database associated thereto, appropriately modify the equipment database in the network element and cause such information to be transferred to an overall equipment database containing similar information for all network elements under the control of a network management system.
