Abstract
Networks are becoming larger and more and more complex. Current management paradigms are unsuitable for them. As a new distributed computing paradigm, a mobile agent has many special features. It offers a very promising solution for many problems in the current network management architecture. Because a mobile agent is an autonomous and intelligent program unit, developing management application using mobile agent follows an application-oriented way. In this way, the developer only needs to focus on the functionality of applications. In this paper, we first investigate the paradigm of network management by a mobile agent (MbMA), its fundamental architecture and advantages. After that, we give a general taxonomy of mobile agent and examples in the context of network management.
