Network management agent allocation scheme in mesh networks
Minseok Oh · IEEE Communications Letters · 2003
In this letter, we propose a scheme for constructing a reliable alarm detection structure in the communication networks. We investigate how to allocate a minimal set of management agents and still cover all alarms in mesh networks under the assumption that alarms are delivered along provisioned paths. We also consider the probabilistic nature of alarm loss and propose an efficient scheme for allocating a minimal set of agents while keeping the overall alarm loss probability below a threshold.
