Abstract

An important question in the current TCP/IP stack is how to extend the Internet technology and its protocols to support mobile computing. The existing protocols were not designed with that goal in mind. The simple network management protocol (SNMP), the most widely-used protocol for network management on TCP/IP networks, is no exception. In this paper we propose using a superimposition architecture to improve the performance of the SNMP protocol in a mobile computing environment. Network-awareness is very important to mobile applications which sense rapid changes in network quality. The focus of our work has been to make mobile applications achieve better performance using a superimposition algorithm to adapt to resource variations
