Configuration Management for DTNs
Sachin Kumar, Amitabh Mishra, G. Cole Robert · 2010
We are investigating new methods for Configuration Management of devices inter-connected over challenged networks such as wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) and Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs). Configuration Management in these network environments require efficiency in communications, bundling of base operations into composite sets, i.e., transactions, resiliency against configuration errors and local autonomous control of configuration. This paper describes our early efforts in architecture, designing and prototyping the Configuration Network Management Protocol (CNMP) as a proposed Configuration Management protocol for these challenging network environments.
