Network management views using delegated agents
نویسنده
چکیده
The lack of an appropriate external data model is one of the reasons for the dearth of eeective network management applications. Many network management computations over Management Information Bases (mibs) cannot be practically accomplished through remote interactions. This paper describes the design of an mib Computations System that supports the dynamic deenition of external data models for mibs. The system consists of a View Deenition Language (vdl) to specify mib external views and snmp-agent extensions that implement them. vdl views deene new mib variables, which are computed via instrumentations performed by a Management-by-Delegation (m b d) server, and which can be queried via the Simple Network Management Protocol, (snmp).

System Designs for Adaptive, Distributed Network Monitoring and Control
We present system designs for adaptive, distributed network monitoring and control. The ideas are to distribute some processing intelligence to network elements, and to design a dynamic interface such that the delegated agents could be managed remotely by the manager. The functionality of the delegated agents, and even that of the native software processes, could be extended dynamically without...
متن کاملDivide and conquer in network management using event-driven network area agents
In network management, simple polling is still the most used method by central management systems for gathering information and checking the status of network nodes. This results in a lot of network bandwidth being used across the whole network for management tasks. The main cause of this problem is the popular centrally managed network paradigm that is used today, where a single network manage...
متن کاملMulti-agent Systems and Network Management - A Positive Experience on Unix Environments
This paper presents an experiment of using a multi-agent system that improves the efficiency in network management on Unix environments. This system aims to decrease the financial damages occasioned by processing interruptions of the computational environment. The multi-agent system is based on a distributed and delegated management approach and it was developed using the GAIA methodology for a...

This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol for allowing a mobile router in a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain to obtain IP prefixes for its attached mobile networks using DHCPv6 prefix delegation. Network-based mobility management support is provided for those delegated IP prefixes just as it is provided for the mobile node’s home address. Even if the mobile router performs...

I retain sole responsibility for all remaining errors. 2 ABSTRACT We show that optimal delegated portfolio management contracts-which serve to screen out uninformed agents and reward potentially informed agents sufficiently to compensate their opportunity and/...
