Self-configuration Networks

The observation of the network behavior and the quantitative description of the network condition is one of the most important activities for network administrators and analysts. Networks are dynamically changing over time, while their structure stays fixed traffic or device load can rapidly change causing networking failures, inaccessibilities or delays due to nodes overload. The article is focused on the active monitoring and configuration of network nodes using the general common standards. The work concerns a design of a decision system based on predefined actions invoking network reconfiguration when observed parameters exceed acceptable limits. The general concept of the self-configuration networks system is presented; the architecture, requirements and basic activities are widely discussed.
