The Architecture of NG-MON: A Passive Network Monitoring System for High-Speed IP Networks

Overview This paper presents the design of a next generation network traffic monitoring and analysis system, called NG-MON (Next Generation MONitoring), for high-speed networks such as 10 Gbps and above. Packet capturing and analysis on such high-speed networks is very difficult using traditional approaches. Using distributed, pipelining and parallel processing techniques, the paper has designed a flexible and scalable monitoring and analysis system, which can run on off-the-shelf, cost-effective computers. The monitoring and analysis task in NG-MON is divided into five phases; packet capture, flow generation, flow store, traffic analysis, and presentation. Each phase can be executed on separate computer systems and cooperates with adjacent phases using pipeline processing.
