ON ONE MODEL FOR MONITORING OPTIMIZATION OF COMPUTER NETWORKS
Article proposes an optimization model for online monitoring of computer networks (CN), which allows minimization of monitoring time. Our main goal is to optimize the monitoring of CN nodes at given network resources. To achieve this goal it is suggested to use the model of polling system by which optimizing monitoring time minimization can be achieved. (pp. 17-25)
Keywords: computer networks, network monitoring, network nodes polling, SNMP-polling, polling systems, polling discipline, mean waiting time
