a network polling solution through a p2p-based distributed management environment
Network management involves several activities for operation, administration, and maintenance of network devices. Among them, network polling is one of the most CPU and network-intensive tasks, showing serious scalability and fault tolerance drawbacks when executed through traditional management architectures. This way, alternative approaches have to be investigated and analyzed for the execution of such operation. This paper proposes a distributed network polling architecture through a P2P-based distributed management environment. It presents the model followed by the architecture, the polling architecture and services responsible by polling operations.
