..... When compared with existing solutions, mobile agents tend to be exclusively evaluated for what more they can do (multi hop migration) rather than for what can they do better. The security constraints are considered as unacceptable, even though currently used technologies (namely SNMP [12] and CORBA) provide poorer or no security at all. Our experience is that in the majority of application environments mobile agent based applications can already be used with better security than currently available solutions. D. Conclusions We have discussed some of the obstacles to widespread ....

Heterogeneous components in a NCS can be monitored by using standardized network monitoring and management protocols such as SNMP [1]. Most computers currently implement SNMP daemons (agents) that provide information about their status. Using these daemons and protocols helps dealing with interoperability and reduces implementation costs. Most packages based on SNMP are centralized: a single manager collects information from ....

A typical set of the activities that are required to determine the current state of the monitored system are as follows. First, a set of state variables are defined (e.g. SNMP MIBs [12]) Second, intervals at which these state variables need to be sampled are determined based upon the granularity of the control actions that are required. Finally, all the samples that are collected are processed continuously for interpretation and action. Therefore, the volume of data that is ....

In network management, the manager may need to conduct polling of some network elements, and often management information base (MIB) files are used to store a significant number of current parameters to be probed by the manager during the polling process [12]. By utilizing certain constraints regarding the parameters, we may be able to reduce the polling cost. Such cost reduction could be very beneficial, both in reducing the load on the network, and reducing the CPU usage at the routers. It should be mentioned that when we talk about monitoring and ....

The novelty of our approach is that through multiple name registration, a CMIP capable management agent can be be extended to support SNMP queries. Note that, our approach is different from the proxy agent approach [ROS91] or the technique of encapsulating SNMP agent by a CMIP agent. Our approach gives equal status to both protocols and allows an agent to support both protocols to access a single MIB.
