A thorough, comprehensive treatment of mobile ad hoc networkmanagement
Mobile ad hoc networking is a hot topic, gaining importance in bothcommercial and military arenas. Now that the basics in the fieldhave settled and standards are emerging, the time is right for abook on management of these networks. From two experts in thefield, Policy-Driven Mobile Ad hoc Network Management providescomprehensive coverage of the management challenges associated withmobile ad hoc networks(MANETs) and includes an in-depth discussionof how policy-based network management can be used for increasingautomation in the management of mobile ad hoc networks.
This book provides readers with a complete understanding of mobilead hoc network management and many related topics, including:
?Network management requirements for MANETs, with an emphasis onthe differences between the management requirements for MANETs ascompared to static, wireline networks
?The use of policies for managing MANETs to increase automation andto tie together management components via policies
?Policy conflict detection and resolution
?Aspects of MANETs that need to be configured and reconfigured atall layers of the protocol stack
?Methodologies for providing survivability in the face of both hardand soft failures in MANETs
?The components of a Quality of Service (QoS) management solutionfor MANETs based on the widely used Differentiated Services(DiffServ) paradigm
?Important open research issues in the area of MANETmanagement
Policy-Driven Mobile Ad hoc Network Management is an ideal resourcefor professionals, researchers, and advanced graduate students inthe field of IP network management who are interested in mobile adhoc networks.
