Static Weighted Load-balancing for XML-based Network Management using JPVM

SNMP-based network management is simple but lacks scalability and efficiency of processing the management data as the number of agents increases. XML-based network management is a new paradigm developed to overcome these limitations. One of the main challenges is how to distribute the management tasks to achieve efficiency and scalability. In this paper, we propose a framework using JPVM to distribute the management tasks among multiple gateways. We compare the performance of three approaches, namely the static weighted load balancing approach, the equal work non-weighted load balancing approach, and the single gateway approach. The first approach provides better communication time between the XML-based manager and the SNMP agents. It takes advantage of the XML, DOM, and Java servlets

An Adaptive Load-balancing Approach to XML-based Network Management using JPVM

SNMP is the most widely used network management protocol. Since SNMP is based on a centralized approach, it is confronted with scalability and efficiency problems when the network expands. XML-based network management is a new paradigm developed to overcome these limitations. In this paper, we propose a framework for adaptive load-balancing using JPVM for XML-based network management. The goal is to increase the efficiency of processing the management data, and decrease the communication time by distributing the management load across multiple XML/SNMP gateways. The load distribution among multiple gateways is adapted to achieve better results
