“…On their turn, the self-management elements are located in one external management device. This management device is in charge of managing more than one hybrid device (also known as 1:N management relationship), which is widely used in different management areas [136] [145] [65].…”

“…In this approach, even though management functions may continue to be distributed across local agents and remote managers, their interactions can be monitored, coordinated and mediated. Recent works [7,8,9] have considered applications of peering technologies to support discovery and distribution of management data. The primary contribution of this paper is in extending peering semantics beyond discovery and access of shared data, to support safe distributed configuration access for policy verification and configuration propagation.…”

Abstract.A central challenge of autonomic systems is how to discover, monitor, analyze and control configuration data to assure operational integrity. Current architectures for configuration data management focus on federating repositories that are loosely synchronized, and do not offer autonomic coordination services. We present A2A, a novel autonomic peering architecture which delivers a unified and consistent view of actual element configuration for autonomic systems and managers, and provides synchronization primitives enabling policy coordination and mediation. We discuss the different synchronization semantics and protocols used by systems and managers to access and manipulate configuration data stored in a distributed Modeler. We show how dependent or conflicting policy actions can be automatically detected, correlated and brought to mediation. The A2A architecture has been partially implemented in a large prototype system that has been successfully demonstrated in security, network configuration, and active network applications.

“…In this way, the control of such basic communications is delegated to the P2P framework used to implement our architecture. Furthermore, in a previous work we have presented that network management based on P2P can aggregate benefits, like reliability and scalability, on the execution of management tasks [12]. Now, we use P2P overlays to have the transparency on basic overlay operations, to distribute the identification of failures and also to provide scalability on the recovery process.…”

Abstract. Monitoring is essential in modern network management. However, current monitoring systems are unable to recover their internal faulty entities forcing the network administrator to manually fix the occasionally broken monitoring solution. In this paper we address this issue by introducing a self-healing monitoring solution. This solution is described considering a scenario of a monitoring system for a Network Access Control (NAC) installation. The proposed solution combines the availability provided by P2P-based overlays with self-healing abilities. This paper also describes a set of experimental evaluations whose results present the tradeoff between the time required to recover the monitoring infrastructure when failures occur, and the associated bandwidth consumed in this process. Based on the experiments we show that it is possible to improve availability and robustness with minimum human intervention.
