随着网络的迅猛发展,管理网技术的相关研究也越来越得到广泛重视,传统的集中式管理方法在可扩展性、可靠性、灵活性方面存在一定的不足。基于移动代理的分布式网络管理方案可以很好地解决这些问题。网管站派遣移动代理到各被管节点上去收集数据和执行网管操作,这样可以分散网络管理站的工作量和降低网络的流量,并提升网络管理系统的主动性。
With the rapid development of network, the research on the technology of network management is paid more and more attention to. Existing centralized network management frameworks suffer from problems such as insufficient scalability, reliability, and flexibility. In this paper, a distributed network management system based on mobile agents is proposed, which can overcome these problems. The NMS (network management station) dispatches the mobile agents to the managed nodes to get data or execute tasks. In this way we can decentralize the workload of NMS, decrease the traffic load of network and enhance the autonomy of network management system.
