Analysis of Fault Tolerant Techniques in Secure Mobile Agent Paradigm

Since the past few years, the network domains and mobile agent technology has been the fastest growing and emerging trend as well. But it has to undergo certain challenges and problems, in order to meet the bandwidth requirements. Moreover, it suffers from issues related to reliability like security and fault tolerance. During the agent migration in an itinerary from one server to other common issue is server crash or agent crash. The parameters used for the evaluation of various techniques are agent centric, system centric, fault type, coordination performance analysis, central management and adaptive. Advantages of each mechanism are also described .
