摘要：In this paper, we propose a novel Distributed MANET Management System (DMMS) approach to use crosslayer models to demonstrate a simplified way of efficiently managing the overall performance of individualnetwork resources (nodes) and the network itself which is critical for not only monitoring the traffic, butalso dynamically controlling the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for different applications. In theproposed DMMS architecture, each network resource maintains a set of Management Information Base(MIB) elements and stores resource activities in their abstraction in terms of counters, timer, flag andthreshold values. The abstract data is exchanged between different management agents residing in differentresources on a need-to-know basis and each agent logically executes management functions locally todevelop understanding of the behavior of all network resources to ensure that user protocols can functionsmoothly. However, in traditional network management systems, they collect statistical data such asresource usage and performance by spoofing of resources. The amount of data that is exchanged with otherresources through management protocols that can be extremely high and the bandwidth for overheadmanagement functions increases significantly. Also, the data storage requirements in each networkresource for management functions increases and become inefficient as it increases the power usage forprocessing. Our proposed scheme targets at solving the problems.
