Title: Self-forming Network Management Topologies in the Madeira Management System
Abstract: This paper describes a novel approach to network management topologies where multiple customized topologies are self-configured, self-optimized, and maintained automatically by the underlying network of elements. An implementation of these self-forming management topologies as developed in the Celtic European research project Madeira is described. The self-forming topologies use peer-to-peer communication facilities provided by the Madeira platform running on each network element and give a view of the complete network topology, with customization optimised for individual management functionality. Finally, experiences in utilising these topologies are described, highlighting the benefits of this novel approach.
