Current Network Management paradigms are rigid and lack flexibility. This makes the task of managing a highly evolving and dynamic network difficult to cope with. This paper presents the results of our work on Agent technology as a new paradigm for developing Network Management applications. First, we present our agent architecture that is built in a way that allows the agent to acquire new capabilities at runtime. Second, we present two case studies implemented with a prototype of this agent architecture. The first case study consists of an agent system in which faulty agents are automatically detected, their tasks then being reallocated to other agents, thus providing a fault-tolerant management system. The second case study deals with the configuration of heterogeneous ATM networks to establish end-to-end permanent virtual channels. Finally, we evaluate our agent architecture and the agent paradigm in general when applied to Network Management.
