METHOD FOR DETECTING, REPORTING AND RESPONDING TO NETWORK NODE-LEVEL EVENTS AND A SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

A system for detecting, reporting and responding to network node-level occurrences on a network-wide level includes one or more first mobile agents (26), each of the one or more first mobile agents (26) is hosted by one of a plurality of nodes (12) in the network (10). An event detection system communicates network event information associated with an event detected at one or more of the nodes (12) in the network (10) to the one or more first mobile agents (26), and a reporting system disseminates from the one or more first mobile agents (26) information describing the detected event to one or more other nodes (12).
