Network Management: State of the Art
Raouf Boutaba, Jin Jie Xiao · 2002
This paper examines the state-of-the-art enabling technologies for network management, including policy-based network management, distributed object computing, Web-based network management, Java-based network management, code mobility, intelligent agents, active networks, and economic theories. For each of them, we discuss the underlying concept, analyze the benefits and drawbacks, and discuss the applicability to network management. In doing so, we illustrate the common trend in network management design: moving towards distributed intelligence. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
