Abstract :
The new concept of proactive network management aims at identifying the existing troubles in advance to any performance degradation, as well as providing support for future decision-making actions. Within this context, a proposal for performance evaluation applying the proactive concepts is here introduced. Moreover, theoretical and practical aspects emphasize the importance of the approach in question. In addition, simulation facilities and programming concepts for the distributed system were employed to obtain the required results. And finally, the outcomes were analyzed in order to confirm the expected performance improvement
