....Markov models for temporal dependence structures [17] Recent work by Zhang et al. 18] assesses three different aspects of constancy in delay and loss rates. There are a number of widely deployed measurement infrastructures which actively measure wide area network characteristics [11] 19] [20]. These infrastructures use a variety of active probe tools to measure loss, delay, connectivity and routing from an end to end perspective. Recent work by Pasztor and Veitch identifies limitations in active measurements, and proposes an infrastructure using the Global Positioning System (GPS) as ....

....and implemented the Autonomous NEtwork MOnitoring System, or ANEMOS. In this paper, we describe the salient features of the system, focusing on its system architecture and key implementation aspects. ANEMOS has some similarities with other network monitoring tools or architectures, such as Pinger [3], Surveyor [4] or the Network Weather Service [5] One major difference, however, is that ANEMOS provides rules and alarms. Specifically, the system evaluates user specified rules on the collected data while the measurements are in progress, issuing alarms when the rule conditions are satisfied. ....

....are given in Section 8. II. RELATED SYSTEMS There are several open source and commercial network monitoring tools and architectures. In the following, we mention the most popular systems that are related to ANEMOS. Among the open source tools, the most closely related to ANEMOS are PingER [3], Surveyor [4] the National Internet Measurement Infrastructure (NIMI) 9] and the Network Weather Service [5] PingER uses Ping to measure RTTs and loss rates to hundreds of hosts around the world. PingER provides performance information and long term trends about many different geographical ....

....a conclusion, section 5 gives some experimental results. 2 State of the art 2.1 Distributed monitoring The tools presented below monitor uses and availabilities of a distributed system. Most often, sensors are deployed to each machine and collected data are then dispatched to consumers. PingER [7] is a distributed monitoring architecture deployed on more than 600 hosts in 72 countries. Periodically some tests are conducted between hosts using the well known ping tool, and the resulting data are made available from a web page. This project goal is to ease the search of partners in computer ....

....focus on an end to end bandwidth monitoring approach that requires the cooperation of only the path end points. Even though end to end approaches are usually not as accurate as router based methodologies, they are often the only feasible approach for monitoring a path that crosses several networks [6]. We define a network path as the sequence of links that forward packets from the path sender (source) to the receiver (sink) 1 . Two bandwidth metrics that are commonly associated with a path are its capacity C and its available bandwidth A. The capacity bounds the maximum feasible IP layer ....

....and unavailable hosts respectively. The first unique contribution of this work is the direct combining of active network management data and realtime television display. While there are Internet websites that successfully accomplish similar graphical display of network management information [1,3], to the best knowledge of the authors, there are no other real time Internet TV implementations. It is, however, common practice in the television industry to indirectly broadcast information via a camera focusing on a real time website (morning evening rush hour traffic reports from local ....

TCP Goodput Studies have shown that Internet packet loss is generally low and or is decreasing [9] 10] [11]. As such, TCP retransmissions due to loss should follow accordingly. Many rate limiting and Quality of Service methodologies don t detect retransmitted TCP packets and therefore treat them as any other so that they participate in the bandwidth utilization equation. If we likewise consider ....

Active measurements cover only those parts of the network that are being probed, do not generally deal with application performance, and ISPs are typically restricted to use them within their network. In addition, active measurements have the potential to add significantly to the existing ....

....logging of packet traces in high speed networks often require special arrangements for collection, storage and processing of very large amount of data. Active methods on the other hand are based on injecting probe packets, often using ICMP. Some examples of tools based on active methods are PingER [5], the Active Measurement Project (AMP) 6] the National Internet Measurement Infrastructure [7] Surveyor [18] and RIPE s test traffic project [8] Cisco has developed the Service Assurance Agent [17] and Ericsson has recently announced several new products in the field [9] A widespread method ....
