一种基于软件Agent的分布式网络管理体系结构

A Software Agent-Based Distributed Network Management Architecture

提出一种基于软件 Agent的分布式网络管理体系结构 DANMA (Distributed software Agent- based NetworkManagement Architecture) .整个体系结构分为接口 Agent、管理服务 Agent和设备 Agent三个层面 .并对管理服务的提供与定制、自动管理和管理系统集成三个问题进行了讨论 .这种体系结构将网络管理的智能和控制分布到整个网络之中 ,使得整个管理系统具有自适应、自组织的特性 .与传统集中式管理系统相比 ,此种结构的系统更易于集成 ,易于扩充 。

A novel Distributed software Agent based Network Management Architecture (DANMA) is put forward. The architecture is composed of three layers: Interface Agent (IA) layer, Service Agent (SA) layer and Device Agent (DA) layer. The problems of service provisioning, management automation and management integration are also discussed. DANMA distributes intelligence and control over the whole network, which provides the network with the capabilities of self adaptability and self organization. As compared with the traditional centralized paradigm, this architecture enables network management systems easier to integrate, to extend and to reuse.
