{"product_id":"9783836412858","title":"Managing the Linux Kernel with Agentx- Design and Implementation","description":"Network management is essential for the operation and supervision of medium to large computer networks. The Simple Network Management Protocol\u003cbr\u003e(SNMP) is the standard protocol for network management in the Internet. Ordinary\u003cbr\u003eSNMP agents are mostly monolithic, run in the user-space and often poll information from the OS kernel. This book examines to what extent the\u003cbr\u003eIETF standard sub-agent protocol AgentX is suitable for the management of\u003cbr\u003eUNIX\/Linux kernel components. For this purpose, AgentX sub-agents have been implemented inside the kernel subsystem they manage. They use the\u003cbr\u003eAgentX protocol for communication with a master agent in user-space. With this approach, kernel subsystems can be managed in an efficient and comprehensive way. The author describes the general design of this new in-kernel management architecture and its interface to the user-space. As an example,\u003cbr\u003etwo kernel sub-systems, namely the network interfaces and Linux Netfilter,\u003cbr\u003eare implemented as MIB modules and explained. This book is intended for software developers of network and system management solutions as well as researchers in this area.","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065689817328,"sku":"9783836412858","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783836412858_p0.jpg?v=1763688408","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783836412858","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
