Ponder2: Extending Policy-based Management
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ponder2 is a significant re-design and re-implementation of Ponder.
Although some of the underlying concepts bear similarity to the basic constructs
of Ponder the entire framework has been re-designed. In contrast to the previous version,
which was designed for general network and systems management, Ponder2 has been designed
as an entirely extensible framework that can be used at different levels of scale from
small embedded devices to complex services and Virtual Organisations.
You will find further documentation about the software on the
Ponder2 Software page.
