Organization and Accessibility of Network Monitoring Data in a Grid
Overview The availability of the outcome of network monitoring activities, while valuable for the operation of Grid applications, poses serious scalability problems: in principle, in a Grid composed of n resources, one needs to keep record of n2 end-to-end paths. This paper introduces a scalable approach to network monitoring that consists in partitioning the Grid into Domains, limiting monitoring activity to the measurement of Domain-to-Domain connectivity. Partitions must be consistent with network performance, since one expects that an observed network performance between Domains is representative of the performance between the Grid Services included into such Domains. The paper argues that partition design is a critical step: a consequence of an inconsistent partitioning is the production of invalid characteristics.
