Abaré: Um framework para implantação, monitoramento e gerenciamento coordenado e autônomo para redes em malha sem fio

Abstract: The Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have been gaining ground as a solution to provide last mile indoors and outdoors Internet access, because of their technical and economic feasibility. However, the existence of open source and proprietary approaches that are not interoperable and the delay in the standardization process make deployment of a large-scale WMN timeconsuming and complex. This paper presents an extension of the framework Abaré with autonomic capability and performance evaluation results regarding load balance issues. Abaré defines a set of components and practices in order to optimize the implementation and management of WMN systems, as well as to provide autonomic features in routers to decrease and facilitate the manager workload.
