A pattern-based network management method and system is used in wireless, mobile networks. An explorer message is successively propagated over a dynamic network and any operating links are verified. This verification is preferably based on that the nodes receiving the explorer message will acknowledge the receipt back to the sending node. The sending node may thereby identify which nodes are reachable at the moment. The receiving nodes will reply to the explorer message and successively return the replies to the original node. The replies are compiled at the original node. In one embodiment, the compilation of the replies will form a basis for network management operations. In another embodiment, the explorer message itself will form a basis for network management operations in at least one of the receiving nodes, and the replies then preferably contains information about results of such operations. |
