Management of computer networks such as local area networks involves maintenance and administration of hardware and software resources. There are various established protocols for network management like Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) in wired and wireless networks, Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) in telecommunication networks, Common Management Information Protocol over TCP/IP (CMOT), Web Based Enterprise Model (WBEM), and the like. Inspite of these protocols, there are certain challenges associated with managing wired and wireless networks.
