Reducing the Response Time in Network Management by Using Multiple Mobile Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims at investigating mobile agent tradeoffs in network management by performing management task simulations. Results show that the mobile agent performs better than the SNMP when the number of managed network elements ranges between two limits: an inferior bound, associated with the number of messages that pass through backbone links, and a superior bound, related to incremental size of mobile agent. Furthermore, if the network is divided into several domains and one mobile agent is assigned to each domain, instead of using a single mobile agent to manage the whole network, the results show that the response time decreases up to 90% when using 8

متن کاملA Study of the Behaviour of the Mobile Agent in the Network Management Systems
This paper investigates the performance management of two different size networks using mobile agents. The performance metrics studied are the response time, traffic and utilisation. Mobile agent performance is analysed through management task simulations using an Optimised Network Engineering Tool (OPNET). Four simulation scenarios were implemented in networks; two with no load applied and two...
متن کاملAn Overview of Group Key Management Issues in IEEE 802.16e Networks
The computer industry has defined the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that will enable mobile devices to access a broadband network as an alternative to digital subscriber line technology. As the mobile devices join and leave a network, security measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the network against unauthorized usage by encryption and group key management. IEEE 802.16e uses Multica...
متن کاملAn Infrastructure for Distributed and Dynamic Network Management based on Mobile Agent Technology
The use of Mobile Agent technology to distribute and delegate management tasks promises to overcome the scalability and flexibility limitations of the centralised Network Management paradigm. An efficient, lightweight infrastructure based on Mobile Agents is described, which addresses these issues by distributing management operations amongst managed devices and hence reducing processing load a...
