Network management system over distributed reactive model

This paper proposes a distributed reactive system model as the basis for building a network management system. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposal, the authors have utilized an existing distributed reactive system toolkit called Meta to implement an experimental network management system. The experimental system provides high-level interfaces for monitoring and controlling network components. It also supports reliable communication over distributed nodes. Preliminary evaluation of the system shows that critical network management functions are provided within an appropriate response time, with small development cost and easy system modification
