nDSM

nDSM stands for Network Device State Management. It is a framework or protocol used in telecommunications and computer networking to monitor and manage the operational status of network devices. The primary goal of nDSM is to provide a centralized and standardized way to track whether network components such as routers, switches, servers, and other hardware are functioning correctly. This includes detecting issues like device failures, performance degradations, or configuration problems.

The framework typically operates by collecting data from various network elements. This data can include information about device health, connectivity status, resource utilization, and error logs. This information is then processed and presented to network administrators or automated management systems. nDSM can facilitate proactive maintenance, rapid troubleshooting, and ensure the overall reliability and availability of a network. By understanding the state of each device, operators can make informed decisions about network operations, resource allocation, and potential upgrades. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability and performance of complex network infrastructures.
