Improving Performance of Mobile Agent Based Intrusion Detection System

From the last decade, Mobile Agent has been extensively used to detect distributed attack in the computer networks. However, literature survey of existing mobile agent based intrusion detection systems clearly shows poor response time and large agent size as major challenges. In this paper, we discussed reasons and solutions for these challenges. We had verified these solutions on computer network having 1400 systems by performing various experiments using Jade Agent Platform. Our experiments clearly show that our solutions reduce response time and agent size to a great extent.
