Jianguo Ding, Ilangko Balasingham, Pascal Bouvry · 2009
Recent years, requirements in network management and control have been amended by emerging network and computing models, including wireless networks, ad-hoc networks, overlay networks, grid networks, optical networks, multimedia networks, storage networks, the convergence of next generation networks (NGN), etc. The network management has to meet resource constraints, multi-federated operations, scalability, dependability, context awareness, security, mobility, probability, etc. This paper presents a survey of the evolution of networks and their trends, the challenges of management for emerging networks and services, and the evolution of network management strategies and solutions in network management.
