Abstract
Provisioning mobile ad hoc network devices to implement complex network policies is a challenging task. Policy based network management (PBNM) is a popular approach for managing complex network operations such as quality of service, network security and access control. However, PBNM has been studied and deployed primarily in the context of the Internet. In this project, we have extended the concept of PBNM to MANETs. We proposed a suite of solutions for configuring MANET devices in an automated, efficient and robust manner. Experiments using a network testbed proved feasibility of the proposed solutions while simulation-based study allowed us to evaluate the scalability of our PBNM system and to test it under different MANET conditions. We also developed analytical models of the PBNM system using Stochastic Petric Nets and cross-validated the results obtained from the testbed experiments and simulation.
