Active network is a kind of new programmable network architecture where network nodes not only forward packets,but also perform customized computation in the packet flowing through them.It provides a programmable interface to the user where users can customize the applications and set up network,and dynamically inject services into the intermediate nodes.However,the traditional prototype of network management does not accommodate to the management of active networks,or it cannot utilize the distributed computation capabilities that active networks provide.This paper analyses the problems of tradition network management(NM),the structure and mechanism of the active network management(ANM) system.It introduces a layered design pattern of active network management based on the kernel of management of active node.This pattern can take full advantage of initiative,dynamics and intelligence in order to realize the distribution of intellectual management in active network.This paper studies the structure of the management system,which is made up of network management node,active node(it is made up of managed node.)Local Mgrs SW,Modeler and Instrumentation,to monitor,set,analyze and control nodes.The paper expounds the management mechanism,design outline and each connection of the management system.In the end,this paper proves this pattern can adapt to the characters of active network and its management.
