Abstract

The growth of heterogeneous networks has increased the demand of adopting robust and an effective technology that can cope with the trend. Developers have always thought of an effective way to manage a network taking in to consideration the current growth trend and the complexities of modern network architecture. Extensive research yielded a concept called the Mobile Agent paradigm. It came as an alternative to the traditional client server paradigm has since proven to be the obvious choice as far as effective network management is concerned This paper addresses the exploitation of Mobile Agents as a Network Performance monitoring tool. The mobile agent agents used is a prototype owned by IBM Tokyo called Aglet. The aim is to provide an intelligent codebase in java for the Aglet to retrieve performance variables and other relevant data on a virtual network. Results are analyzed and conclusions are drawn based on the analysis and evaluation
