Abstract
The Mobil agent Technology has recently emerged as one of the most promising example in computer network management and in the Internet. With the current concerns over computer networks management, there is a need for intelligent tools to monitor, analyze and manage computer networks.This research presents the design of a mobile agent based network management framework to monitor a network performance. This mobile agent used in this work carries the code and the data with itself when the agent migrates among the nodes in the network. Therefore, the agent is designed to capture internet and network packets that transferred to/from the Local Host and to/from the nodes in the network.The information carried by the packet header is analyzed by the system to measure the rate of bandwidth used by the nodes in the network. The statistical calculations which are done by the system are displayed in graphical and mathematical models which give the system the easiest way to trace the network performance.The designed system can actively migrate among nodes in a heterogeneous networks environment So the technique here as result can be employed to implement the duties of network management by delegation and to deliver different tasks for example collection information for network element therefore, the agent can carry out some daily duties of network administrator such as install and upgrade software .Due to using this agent, the network management policy has been changed and adapted quickly to the changes of today dynamic network environment
