Evolving Toward a Self-Managing Network
Overview Why is network management so difficult? The authors think the complexity of the individual network elements is a big part of the problem, and a big barrier to fundamental change. Nowadays routers implement numerous routing protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, and RIP) and data-plane mechanisms (e.g., class-based queuing, RED, and access control lists), with inumerable configurable parameters that have a profound influence on the behavior of the network. Despite years of research work on protocols and mechanisms, it have relatively few meaningful guidelines for; selecting and composing these features to build a network and; setting the tunable parameters to maximize the performance, reliability, and security of a running network.
