An adaptive management architecture for ad hoc networks
TLDR
The Guerrilla management architecture is described to facilitate adaptive and autonomous management of ad hoc networks and is scalable to accommodate the sheer number and heterogeneity of nodes, autonomous and survivable to adapt to network dynamics, and economical to minimize management overhead.Abstract:
Ad hoc networks, where mobile nodes communicate via multihop wireless links, facilitate network connectivity without the aid of any preexisting networking infrastructure. The intrinsic attributes of ad hoc networks, such as dynamic network topology, limited battery power, constrained wireless bandwidth and quality, and large number of heterogeneous nodes, make network management significantly more challenging than stationary and wired networks. In particular, the conventional client/server-based manager/agent management paradigm falls short of addressing these issues. We describe the Guerrilla management architecture to facilitate adaptive and autonomous management of ad hoc networks. The management capability of Guerrilla is scalable to accommodate the sheer number and heterogeneity of nodes, autonomous and survivable to adapt to network dynamics, and economical to minimize management overhead.read more

Smart packets: applying active networks to network management
Beverly Schwartz,Alden W. Jackson,W. Timothy Strayer,Wenyi Zhou,R. Dennis Rockwell,Craig Partridge +5 more
TL;DR: Smart Packets improves the management of large complex networks by moving management decision points closer to the node being managed, targeting specific aspects of the node for information rather than exhaustive collection via polling, and abstracting the management concepts to language constructs, allowing nimble network control.
