Towards malware inspired management frameworks

Abstract—Scalability is a real challenge for network management due to the increase of the devices to be managed and their various locations. A potential solution is based on botnets basically used by attackers. To prove the efficiency of such a system, a model is needed. Since in a previous paper we propose an IRC botnet model, in this paper we introduce two kinds of P2P models, evaluate them and compare the three different models to determine a practicable solution for network management.
