Distributed network management tasks in a distributed communication network

摘要

Traffic network (10), the network node system for distributing the plurality of network nodes from a source network management tasks, and methods (14). When a task is received in (14) a network node, the node determines whether to forward to other network nodes task. If to be forwarded, the receiving network node selects a neighboring node or nodes that it is necessary to use the knowledge application-level information about the functionality of each neighboring node, to receive the tasks. Then, by using (12) the functional management overlay layer, known as the (D ³⁾ Layer and distribution data search, the receiving network node transmits the communication task to a neighboring node that is selected. Receiving a response from the neighbor node, and aggregates the response using the local information, the network node sends to the source responses aggregated.
