Network Monitoring: It Depends on Your Points of View

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview End-to-end active network monitoring infers network characteristics by sending and collecting probe packets from the network edge, while probes traverse the network through multicast trees or a mesh of unicast paths. Most reported methods consider given source and receiver locations and study the path selection and the associated estimation algorithms. This paper shows that appropriately choosing the number of sources and receivers, as well as their location, may have a significant effect on the accuracy of the estimation; the paper also gives guidelines on how to choose the best "Points of view" of a network for link loss monitoring purposes.
