Abstract
SNMP-based network management is simple but lacks scalability and efficiency of processing the management data as the number of agents increases. XML-based network management is a new paradigm developed to overcome these limitations. One of the main challenges is how to distribute the management tasks to achieve efficiency and scalability. In this paper, we propose a framework using JPVM to distribute the management tasks among multiple gateways. We compare the performance of three approaches, namely the static weighted load balancing approach, the equal work non-weighted load balancing approach, and the single gateway approach. The first approach provides better communication time between the XML-based manager and the SNMP agents. It takes advantage of the XML, DOM, and Java servlets.
