Abstract

It is appropriate to use the NETCONF to monitor and manage today's complex networks that are composed of variety links and heterogeneous equipment. Since the first standard of the NETCONF are launched, there have been several revisions, but disadvantages of each layer capabilities is still present and the most typical disadvantage is XML document processing efficiency of the Content layer. In this paper, we perform data modeling by constructing a sub-tree based on the dependencies between Content layer data, and suggest method of extract efficiently data from XML by applying the extended VTD-XML technique for the XPath query. We performs experiment to compare NETCONF in proposed method to NETCONF in previous studies and NETCONF standard. we validate superiority of improved NETCONF in the paper. As experimental results, we verify that improved NETCONF is better than the other two NETCONF each 4% and 10% in terms of query processing rate, and faster than each 3.9 seconds and 10.4 seconds in terms of query processing speed.

이질적인 링크와 다양한 장비로 구성된 오늘날의 복잡한 네트워크를 모니터링하고 관리하기 위해서 NETCONF를 사용하는 것이 적합하다. NETCONF의 첫 표준이 배포된 이래로 여러 번의 개정이 있었으나 계층별로 기능의 단점은 여전히 존재하고 있는데, 가장 대표적인 것이 Content 계층에서의 XML 문서 처리 효율성이다. 본 논문에서는 Content 계층에 데이터 간 종속성에 기반한 서브트리를 구성하여 데이터 모델링을 수행하고, XPath 질의에 대해 확장된 VTD-XML 기술을 적용하여 XML로부터 데이터를 효율적으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 기법이 적용된 NETCONF와 선행 연구의 NETCONF 및 표준 NETCONF를 비교하는 실험을 수행하고 논문에서 개선한 NETCONF의 우수성을 검증한다. 실험 결과로 본 논문에서 개선한 NETCONF가 다른 두 가지 NETCONF에 비해 질의 처리율에서는 각각 4%와 10% 우수하며, 질의 처리 속도에 있어서는 각각 3.9초와 10.4초 빠름을 확인하였다.
