Abstract
The growing intelligence of communication equipment and the advances in communication services created a demand for more complex and flexible network management functions. It becomes difficult to handle such a demand by the traditional, simple manager-”management agent” paradigm for network management systems. Mobile agent technology is regarded as one of the promising solutions for handling such demand. We evaluate the efficiency of a mobile agents based network management system, quantitatively as well as qualitatively, by using our prototype SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) test management functions. The results show effective use of mobile agent technology for network management.
