Abstract

Combining with SNMP and SOAP web service technology, this paper proposes a mobile agent based hierarchical network management framework to alleviate the scalability limitation of centralized network management model. In the proposed solution, multiple mobile agents are dispatched by management station to perform the management tasks simultaneously. The paper discusses how to partition the managed devices into proper number of domains while each of the domains is load balanced. The upper bound of the number of domains is given. A Max-Min adjustment algorithm is proposed to balance the load of every domain. Mathematical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed solution has better performance in both network traffic and response time than the centralized network management solution.
