Abstract

This paper analyzes mobile agent performance in network management, comparing it with the client-server model used by the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Response time results show that the mobile agent performs better than the SNMP when the number of managed elements ranges between two limits determined by the number of messages that pass through a backbone and by the mobile agent size that grows with the variables collected on the network elements.
