Network monitoring serves as the basis for a wide scope of network,
engineering and management operations. Precise network monitoring
involves inspecting every packet traversing in a network. However, this
is not feasible with future high-speed networks, due to significant
overheads of processing, storing, and transferring measured data.
Network Monitoring in High Speed Networks presents accurate measurement
schemes from both traffic and performance perspectives, and introduces
adaptive sampling techniques for various granularities of traffic
measurement. The techniques allow monitoring systems to control the
accuracy of estimations, and adapt sampling probability dynamically
according to traffic conditions. The issues surrounding network delays
for practical performance monitoring are discussed in the second part of
this book. Case studies based on real operational network traces are
provided throughout this book. Network Monitoring in High Speed Networks
is designed as a secondary text or reference book for advanced-level
students and researchers concentrating on computer science and
electrical engineering. Professionals working within the networking
industry will also find this book useful.
