Among distributed models, one, epitomized by the SNMPv2 and CMIP protocols, has been around for several years, whereas a flurry of new ones, based on mobile code, distributed objects or cooperative agents, have only recently emerged. This paper reviews all major network management paradigms known to date, and proposes a simple typology to classify them.Distributed Network ManagementMobile CodeManagement by DelegationDistributed ObjectsIntelligent AgentsCooperative Agentstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
