Abstract
A network management assembly is disclosed for managing a flow of network management traffic across a network containing a plurality of discrete network domains. The assembly can include a first management terminal which is arranged to transmit network management traffic to each of the network domains via a respective first communication link, and a second management terminal which is arranged to receive network management traffic from each of the network domains via a respective second communication link. Each of the first communication links can permit a flow of network management traffic from the first management terminal to a respective domain, and prevent a reverse flow of network management traffic from the respective domain to the first management terminal. Each of the second communication links can permit a flow of network management traffic from a respective domain to the second management terminal, and prevent a reverse flow.
