Abstract
This paper covers the design and implementation of a generic model, based upon Mobile Agents, to perform PVC configuration management functions in multi-vendor ATM networks. The paper introduces an alternative or complement to existing ATM configuration management solutions. In it, an autonomous mobile agent travels from switch to switch to perform its configuration duties. A prototype implementation written in the Java programming language was developed for the validation of the proposed solution and was tested using a simulation testbed also written in Java.
