Optimal NetFlow Deployment in IP Networks

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview This paper investigates the problem of deploying NetFlow with optimized coverage and cost in an IP network. Deploying a network-wide monitoring infrastructure in operational networks is necessary for practical reasons and Cisco NetFlow is a promising solution. However, several cost factors are associated with enabling NetFlow given the current conditions in such a network. The paper argues that enabling NetFlow to cover a major portion of traffic instead of the entire traffic will achieve significant cost savings while at the same time give operators enough monitoring capabilities. Therefore it aims to solve the Optimal NetFlow Location Problem (ONLP) for a given coverage ratio. It analyzes various cost factors to enabling NetFlow in such a network. The paper models the problem as an Integer Linear Program (ILP).
