基于mobile agent的分布式网络自管理模型

Distributed network self-management model based on mobile agents

为了解决大规模、异构网络环境下基于“管理员密集”的传统网络管理模式带来的低效率和高出错率问题,提出了一种网络自管理模型,从网络管理的自动初始化和动态自管理两个方面实现对网络自动、自主、自适应的管理;提出了管理定位服务这一关键技术,在多个管理站协同工作的分布式网络环境中为设备自动定位出合适的管理站及初始的管理任务;采用可伸缩的分布式体系结构,适应了大规模网络的规模可变性等特点;基于mobile agent的管理框架进一步提高了管理的自适应性和灵活性。

With the fast development of network to large-scale, heterogeneity and high-speed, the traditional operator-intensive network management model results in low efficiency and high proneness to error. A network self-management model is presented to solve it. This model improves the automatic, autonomous and self-adapting management in two aspects: Automatic Initialization and Dynamic Self-management. Management Locating Service is adopted to locate the proper managers efficiently in a multi-manager environment, as well as locate the initial management tasks automatically. A scalable distributed architecture based on domain well adapts the large-scale network. Moreover, the mobile agent based infrastructure improves the flexibility and autonomy of the model.
