Abstract;At network management such as SNMP (simple network management protocol) and so on, as processing of management concentrates to its processing system, and bands required for boring at collection of management informations increase together with increase of managed system (MS) numbers, some problems such as limitation on its application to large scale networks and so on are pointed out. Therefore, network managements (distribution networks management (DNM)) feeding management programs (MPs) described on a part of management processing to an MS to perform them have been proposed. On DNM, MPs are performed on response to network constructions and processing loads (PLs) of every systems, and dynamic load balancing (LB) intending at balance of PLs at whole of networks becomes important. As there were already some reports on LB based on MP numbers and MS numbers, ranges of LB are restricted within local networks without relations to actual PLs of every systems or even when considering PLs, and there was a problem not always capable of intending on balance of PLs at whole of networks. In this paper, was newly proposed a dynamic LB for DNM intending on dynamic LB of management processing through management system, MS, and so on, on a base of 1) PLs of management system and MS and 2) bands required for boring and management operation together with perform of MP, as a part of solution of this problem. And, a prototype system based on the proposed method was mounted, to show effectiveness of the proposed method through actual environment evaluation using this system.
