Abstract

Event handling is a management mechanism that provides means for the network to react on changes in the network conditions or performance. In the construction of a clean-slate management architecture, we consider this as a main building block. This paper proposes a fully distributed event distribution in a fully distributed environment: differently from existing works, no configuration is required in advance, and yet nodes have guarantee that events are delivered and that certain delivery objectives are respected. The contributions of this paper are: a generic system model for event handling and an analysis of event distribution mechanisms with respect to timeliness and traffic metrics. The paper describes and discusses in detail the results based on simulations and provides guidelines for management functions of the Future Internet.
