Title
INCA: an agent-based network control architecture
Abstract
This paper describes the design and implementation of INCA, an open archi- tecture for the distributed management of multi-service ne tworks and systems ap- plications. The Intelligent Network Control Architectureis populated by station- ary and mobile intelligent agents. These agents perform monitoring and control of network and systems components, thereby supporting the integrated manage- ment of networks and services. The architecture provides transaction capabilities to con trol transport and mo- bility of agents, agent prioritization, and multiple agent code transfer schemes. Managed objects used to access resources on network elements and new system functionalities can be created, distributed, and replaced dynamically. An example INCA application demonstrates that prioritized agents are necessary to support the timely execution of critical tasks. The design of our agent based network management platform is not bound to a particular programming language or computing environment; the current im-
