The DIDM project addresses the need to provide device specific functionality. Device specific functionality is code that performs a “feature”, and the code is knowledgeable of the capability and limitations of the device.
The presentation will address the following: - Device identification - Data models for common features - RPCs for common features - Device synchronization - Driver registration - Device discovery
Identifying the type of device may require interacting with the device using southbound protocol such as SNMP, Corba, TL1, NetConf, etc.
The presentation will discuss the problems being solved by DIDM, and provide a high level architecture and status for the project.
