Abstract
This invention concerns a method for organizing the execution of Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) requests in an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) environment by providing main threads and sub-threads within each main thread for simultaneous processing of multiple CMIP requests. In brief, a main thread is started sequentially for executing incoming CMIP requests, the main thread checks whether a particular managed object is available, i.e. not locked, lock it, and starts a sub-thread to process the CMIP request in this managed object. This allows the main thread to start another sub-thread, thus providing for the parallel execution of a plurality of CMIP requests.
