Abstract
We propose a solution for management, In-Network Management, which is based on decentralization, self-organization, and autonomy of management processes. Its key idea is that management stations outside the network delegate management tasks to the network itself, supporting large-scale networks that self-configure, dynamically adapt to external events and allow for low-cost operation. We discuss challenges, benefits, and approaches to In-Network Management. We present an architectural framework suitable for different levels of embedding within the network elements. Examples of novel algorithms supporting real-time monitoring in a distributed manner are presented, and self-adaptation schemes for resource control are discussed; we outline real-time monitoring of network-wide metrics, group size estimation, data search, and anomaly detection. We conclude that robust, distributed algorithms can be devised for a multitude of management tasks without introducing excessive amounts of overhead in the networked devices.
