Abstract
Mobile agents (MAs) is one of the technologies considered in the recent years to perform management processes. This technology provides the ability to move code in distributed environments and to connect with other resources and agents locally which makes it an appropriate technology in the development of software applications of distributed network, especially management systems. For using mobile agent technology, an infrastructure for the management of MAs is needed. In this project, an infrastructure called MCT management is introduced for network management. In this infrastructure, some protocols like SNMP are used to get management data for the network administrator. With respect to management ability, MAs can dynamically access the database SNMP (i.e. MIB) and extract the data required by the managers. Most well-known methods are characterized by being static relative to code and location in which components cannot modify their location or code in a lifetime. However, the MAs method can dynamically increase communications, reduce costs and overcome certain limitations by changing location and components.
Highlights
For a long time the Client-Server (C/S) model has been applied for various network affairs
Due to their ability to move in distributed environments, Mobile Agents (MAs) are very suitable for the development of distributed software applications, especially in network management systems where the decentralization of management operations is one of the main characteristics
Test: behavior of MAs does not change according to the type of topology and is almost constant, but in SNMP response times in different topologies increase faster by increasing the number of managed elements, because packets surveyed in SNMP are dependent on the type of topology
Summary
For a long time the Client-Server (C/S) model has been applied for various network affairs. Agents are codes moved from a network element to another and communicate with local resources and other agents, returning the data of one network element to the manager Because of their movement, agents are called mobile. Due to their ability to move in distributed environments, MAs are very suitable for the development of distributed software applications, especially in network management systems where the decentralization of management operations is one of the main characteristics. In this mode of operation, management duties are delegated to the Agents and a number of them can be dynamically distributed between management entities in the network management system. In simulation mode, the communication of MA and MIB, SNMP for administrators is designed in order to monitor and control the network
