Analyzed the shortcoming of traditional network management system, then, a model of network performance management based on mobile agents was proposed. Model suggested encapsulating the objects and instructions with mobile agents. Mobile agents can independently collect performance MIB objeers node by node and compute the last performance data in local network entities in the model. We presented the architecture, design and implementation of such a model, compared and contrasted it to traditional poll mechanism implementation with experiment data. The data prove the model can decrease network ...
