Abstract
Management of mobile ad hoc networks poses new challenges due to the dynamic nature of the networks and the environment in which they operate. Management of these networks requires distributed systems which can adapt to the changing network conditions. An interesting approach to network management is Policy based Network Management (PBNM) which configures and controls the network as a whole. Lately, PBNM has become very popular but it has been mainly focused on large fixed networks and it is still evolving in the arena of mobile ad hoc networks. We present a PBNM framework utilizing the xml based cross-layer feed back. We propose solutions at the network layer, a cross layer feedback architecture and policy based management mechanism at the application layer. We also present initial analysis via ns2 simulations.
