Towards Decentralized Network Management and Reliability

摘要

We depend more and more on computer networks, yet the growth of networks and their heterogeneous composition make ensuring network reliability a daunting task. SHAI introduces a novel alternative approach that pushes monitoring and response out into the network in support of better scalability and decision making. Using autonomous agents, the system detects and responds to network degrading events, even those not previously observed, and even when parts of the network have failed. This paper describes our motivation and system architecture and gives an example of how this system might perform.
