ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed at both a method and an apparatus for executing a distributed algorithm or server in a Simple Network Management Protocol Version 1 (SNMPv1) based computer network. The invention involves configuring a peer arrangement of agent/manager nodes and encapsulating the algorithm or server into SNMPv1. In a peer configuration, each node acts as a manager node, the manager node sends a Get message to an agent node to read a certain location in an agent node's managed information base (MIB) and sends a Set message to an agent node to write to a certain location in an agent node's MIB. This peer configuration also provides that each node act as an agent node, the agent node sends a GetResponse message to a manager node in response to a Get message and sends a Trap message to a manager node in response to an event. Encapsulating of the algorithm or server within SNMPv1 involves mapping the proprietary protocol to the SNMPv1 messages and mapping the algorithm or server variables to certain locations in the MIB. When mapping the algorithm or server, algorithm command variables, placeholder variables, and data variables are assigned to certain locations within the MIB.
