Abstract
Monitoring the resource status in active network nodes is important both for the network administrator to maintain and deploy active networks and for the normal end-users to acquire better performance. Hence, a method that can monitor the resource status at a remote node is needed. Moreover, due to the complexity of the resource usage in active networks, the corresponding method should be able to monitor the status of various resources at remote node dynamically and in a user-specified way. This paper presents the design and implementation of such a resource monitoring method. The method adopts the active application technique to obtain the desired resource status information at a remote network node and transfer them back to the user in the user-specified way. It also allows the user to control the content, the procedure and the precise of the monitoring.
