A Study of Distributed Network Management Architectures

Kriti Nagpal & Anish Saini

Initially network was managed by centralized client server technology using various protocols like SNMP, CMIP etc. But on large scale, it has many disadvantages like problem of traffic, failure of server etc as centralized network is not scalable and flexible enough. So we need a better framework to improve the management services of a network in a more precise way. This leads to the management of network in distributed way. There are already various architectures designed for distributed network management. Some of them are Client Server mobile agent framework, MAGENTA, NetPatrol etc. This paper discusses the various architectures of distributed network system and understands the working of each model. Also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of one model over other.
