中文摘要：

互联网越来越复杂，网络设备支持的功能和服务越来越多，导致配置错误多发酒己置错误已成为网络中断和异常产生的主要原因之一．互联网配置问题引起众多研究者的兴趣和重视，成为网络管理领域的一个重要研究课题．自2002年以来，研究者先后从不同角度对互联网配置问题进行了大量的研究，这些研究极大地促进了网络自动配置技术的发展．首先对互联网自动配置及配置案例进行概述：然后，按照配置自动生成、配置验证、配置自动实现这3个方面对互联网自动配置研究进行分类总结和分析评价最后，总结了当前研究中存在的问题，并对未来研究发展趋势进行展望，希望能为该领域的研究者提供一些有益的启示．

英文摘要：

The Internet is becoming extremely complex. Meanwhile, the network devices have been supporting more functions and services, which result in much more misconfigurations. Such misconfigurations, however, have become the main reason for network interruption as well as network anomalies. This issue has drawn many researchers＇ interest and attention, thus becomes a significant research topic in the field of network management. Since 2002, researchers have devoted themselves to solve configuration problems from different perspectives, and these studies greatly contribute to the development of the lnternet automatic configuration. This paper firstly presents Internet automatic configuration and some configuration cases; then categorizes and evaluates lnternet automatic configuration from the aspects of automatic configuration generation, configuration validation and automatic configuration realization; last but not least, summarizes the defects in the current research and then prospect the development of future research. The purpose of this paper is to provide some available information and beneficial enlightenment for researchers of this field.
