Proposal for the Configuration of multi-domain Network Monitoring Architecture
In: The International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN 2011), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, pages 7 - 12.
In Internet networks, monitoring is necessary to guarantee
the performance of the services. In this paper, we review
the state-of-the-art monitoring architectures proposed for
multi-domain networks. We note that these architectures do
not support measurement configuration that enables the
providers to perform flexible multi-domain measurements.
Therefore, we present our proposal for the configuration of
the multi-domain network monitoring architecture in order
to give more flexibility in network monitoring and solve
the heterogeneity and interoperability problems. We also
present our collaboration schemes that can be applied in
our configurable monitoring architecture. These
collaboration schemes, based on the proactive selection and
reactive selection, are used to select the measurement
points that participate in the multi-domain monitoring and
configure the parameters of the measurement points
selected. We show through extensive simulations that the
proactive collaboration scheme provides a more flexible
multi-domain monitoring and reduces the delay and the
overload of the monitoring establishment.
