Abstract

This paper focuses on behavior analysis on mobile agents used in network routing. We describe a general agent-based routing model and classify it into two cases based on the reaction of mobile agents to a system failure, namely MWRC (mobile agents with weak reaction capability) and MSRC (mobile agents with strong reaction capability). For each case, we analyze the population distribution (the number of mobile agents) of mobile agents which as an important measure for monitoring the computational resource consumption and network performance. Our analysis reveal theoretical insights into the statistical behaviors of mobile agents and provide useful tools for effectively managing mobile agents in large networks.
