Paper Abstract:
|
The deployment of automatic solutions to support networks self-configuration is increasingly capturing the attention of the Internet community. In existing networks, information mainly retrieved off-line is used to configure different network elements and this configuration remains fairly static during the period of time when the network is in operation. Future networking technologies expects a new level of dynamicity and heterogeneity in which networks architectures and protocols must enable the cooperation of heterogeneous devices. This cooperation should be transparent, established on demand, and thus support plug-and-play operation. In this context, situations where new networks would be spontaneously created will happen and, consequently, networks might dynamically adapt themselves to environments characteristics during their entire lifecycle. In this paper we present an evaluation of the influence that a self-configuration mechanism might have in network operation considering some perspectives, such as its overhead and the influence it would have over running applications. |
