Abstract
This paper proposes a model, SMMAG, which utilizes intelligent mobile agents for Traffic Engineering (TE) and network management activities of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network using commands from Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). It describes a mechanism for TE and network management by intelligently gathering descriptive statistics from the devices. It also helps in analyzing collected data which further can be used for decision making by a network administrator and/or mobile agent.
