Edge-to-Edge Measurement-Based Distributed Network Monitoring

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview Continuous monitoring of a network domain poses several challenges. First, routers of a network domain need to be polled periodically to collect statistics about delay, loss, and bandwidth. Second, this huge amount of data has to be mined to obtain useful monitoring information. This increases the overhead for high speed core routers, and restricts the monitoring process from scaling to a large number of flows. To achieve scalability, polling and measurements that involve core routers should be avoided. The paper designs and evaluates a distributed monitoring scheme that uses only edge-to-edge measurements, and scales well to large network domains.

IP equals new alliances - get used to it

Managed MPLS networks give carriers much better control of the network right from the core to the edge. Because it is IP-based, the core and the edge of the network can work together," explains Pannell.

Why don't we talk anymore?

Clayton's company QAS measures the criteria it believes is important in customer relations - these are interdepartmental measurements such as time to answer incoming calls or time it takes to deal with returned mail.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
