Towards a P2P-Based Deployment of Network Management Information
Abstract
Standard static centralized network management approaches are unsuitable for managing large, dynamic and distributed networks. Some decentralized approaches based on the P2P model have emerged to overcome the limitations of these centralized approaches like lack of scalability and fault-tolerance. However, they do not address issues related to the deployment of management information which is crucial in a decentralized management context because of the heterogeneous nature of this kind of information. Furthermore, current decentralized approaches still faces difficulties to ensure security, persistence and consistency of management information. In this paper, we investigate the use of a DHT as a framework for the deployment of network management information. First, we feature management information from a deployment perspective. Then, we propose a basic deployment strategy. We evaluate this approach in the context of the monitoring service considering network scalability, propagation delay and information loss under churn.
