Abstract—Current Network Management paradigms are
rigid and lack flexibility. Therefore, a new kind of management
system and strategy must be provided to enhance the reliability
and performance of Network Management. This paper presents
the results of our work on Mobile Agent technology as a new
paradigm for developing Network Management applications.
Problems existing in traditional Network Management are
discussed and a distributed solution is proposed. In this new
approach, Mobile agents are the lead characters, in a world
where networks grow in a larger and complicated way. Finally,
we present the results from an implemented architecture for a
real network scenario. Our efforts resulted in IMANetMS, an
Intelligent Mobile Agent Network Management System.
Index Terms—Mobile agents, network management, simple
network management protocol.
