Abstract
A distributed system having improved management characteristics. A management entity is coupled to a plurality of hub nodes in the distributed network. The hub nodes are each associated with a plurality of integrated access devices (IADs). The hub node proxies each of the associated IADs such that from the management entity point of view, the hub node and associated IADs appear to be a single network element. Management requests for the IAD are then handled in the hub node transparently to the management entity.
