Abstract
The management of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is a challenging task. Previous work on this topic has focused largely on the monitoring and data collection aspects of network management; literature on the provisioning of devices and protocol support for MANET configuration is scarce. We present a solution suite to extend policy-based management, for the first time, to MANETs. The solution suite consists of four schemes - k-hop clustering, dynamic service redundancy (DynaSeR), policy negotiation, and automated service discovery - each addressing different challenges in managing ad hoc networks. We propose extensions to the standard common open policy service (COPS) protocol for use in MANETs, and evaluate the system performance using simulations.
移动特设网络(MANET)的管理是一项极具挑战性的任务。以前有关这一主题的工作主要集中在网络管理的监控和数据收集方面;有关城域网配置的设备供应和协议支持的文献很少。我们提出了一套解决方案,首次将基于策略的管理扩展到城域网。该解决方案套件包括四种方案--k-hop 集群、动态服务冗余(DynaSeR)、策略协商和自动服务发现--每种方案都能应对管理 ad hoc 网络中的不同挑战。我们对用于城域网的标准通用开放策略服务(COPS)协议提出了扩展建议,并通过模拟对系统性能进行了评估。
