Abstract
The paper presents a web-based network management system, using the mobile agents technology, designed for Taiwan’s National Broadband Experimental Networks (NBEN). The mobile agent technology is applied to gather and monitor the network status, and is capable of offering efficient, flexible and intelligent network management functions. Through the friendly graphical interfaces, the network status and related information can be easily collected and displayed dynamically. In the future, more mobile agents with intelligence will be designed and implemented, and the system will be transferred to commercial networks.
The research was supported in part by MOE Program of Excellence Research under grant A-91-H-FA07-1-4, and by National Center for High-Performance Computing, National Science Council of the Republic of China under grant NSC 90-2219-E-008-005.
