1.1 Embedding of the Network Management (NM)
NM defines a set of services for node monitoring. Figure 1 shows how the NM is embedded into a system and that the NM shall be adapted to specific
requirements of the bus system used or to the resources of the nodes.
NM consists of the following:
-
— interface to interact with the Application Programming Interface(API);
-
— algorithm for node monitoring;
-
— internal interfaces (NM <-> COM, etc.);
-
— algorithm for transition into sleep mode; and
-
— NM protocol data unit (NMPDU).
