Abstract

A system and method for network management, including a message handling process, having a network manager and at least one network element is described. The network management messaging system sends and receives multiple concurrent messages between the network element layer and the network management layer. Support of concurrent messaging greatly speeds and simplifies network management. A client request is received at a first managed object, at least part of the client request is fulfilled by a second managed object. A major row is created in response to receiving the client request, and a minor row associated with a managed object request sent to the second managed object. The minor row has an index that associates the minor row with the major row, and correlates a response to the managed object request with the client request.
