R. Chadba, C.-Y.J. Chiang, M. Little, Sunil Samtani · 2004
We describe in this paper a novel design of a network management architecture that incorporates both agent and policy technologies. The conceptual model, main components, and various transports employed in this architecture are discussed. We believe that this network management architecture is highly scalable and capable of adapting network protocols and services on-the-fly with the goal of optimizing the efficiency of operations.
