The use of agent to incorporate network awareness into dynamic proxy framework: an overview
Keywords:
dynamic proxy, agent, network awareness, application level active networkAbstract
It has been observed that research in mobile agent focused on the development of platforms and on the application of the concept. Network awareness is one of the applications of mobile agent, concerning of how agent determine and make the most efficient use of network resources. This paper describes the role and functionality of mobile agent in the context of a dynamic proxy framework named the Chek Proxy Framework (CPF). Attention is paid on setting out a multi-agent-based framework to enrich CPF with a Network Awareness Module (NAM), which is implemented in an agent named ObjectBasket (OB). NAM is a single framework that integrates resource discovery, load monitoring and migration, and fault management, to operate in a network with dynamic proxy servers. The main objective of NAM is to deliver robustness and best-effort QoS guarantees into the existing CPF system adaptively, based on the availability of resources in the network. In this paper, we present the architecture of NAM, status generation algorithm, implementation rules, and the management of faults and overloading.
