Design and implementation of WAP-based LAN segment management system using RMON MIB

Advances in LAN technology have enabled fast data transmission. However, without effective management of these resources, congestion of networks as well as waste of resources are inevitable. Therefore, it is necessary to supervise, report, and even control, if necessary, the network resource status so that the communication network can be effectively operated without service interruption by monitoring traffic among the hosts. Web‐based network management systems have been developed and applied for remote management without using specific applications. However, such web‐based network management systems have limited manager mobility and poor performance. To overcome such disadvantages, this paper proposes a network management system using wireless communication. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
