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).
