Abstract

The constant growth of computer and telecommunication networks and the variety of topologies being interconnected are making the efficient management of these networks a hard task. Centralized management, currently the most used model, is becoming inflexible and inefficient in view of this growth. On the other hand, code mobility is being considered as a possible solution to this problem. However, no research proposes a way to identify wich technique is the best to perform any management task in a network with any configuration. In this context, the present work proposes an analytical model to evaluate the performance of Mobile Agents in the decentralization of the management compared with the traditional and centralized management model in a generic network topology.
