This paper presents a P2P-based network management architecture that supports cross-domain management collaboration to solve the scalability and cross-domain management problems in large scale internets. In the architecture,each management domain (MD) is highly autonomous with iManager and iAgent accomplishing the local management tasks and publishing the management services to the outside world. MDs are loosely interconnected with P2P mechanism with an ambassador entity designed to search and invoke management services of other domains. A heuristic P2P service searching algorithm was designed to achieve high efficiency of service searching in management activities. A prototyping system is now implemented and deployed in the next generation of China Education and Research Network (CERNET2). The stable operation of the system shows the applicability of the architecture.
