An Efficient Mechanism for Network Management in Wireless Mesh Network

Wireless mesh networks are easy to deploy, self configuring networks which are rapidly becoming the network solution for various domains. Node mobility and power constraint make network management an important issue in wireless mesh networks. Security and network monitoring augment the concerns of efficient management within the network. In this paper, we discuss the issues of network management in wireless mesh network and propose an efficient mechanism of distributed network management. This mechanism also helps in making routing and security mechanism easy and efficient.
