Enhancing Network Traffic Monitoring using MeasuRouting

Problem Definition

Problem Description: One of the major challenges faced in network traffic monitoring is the ability to accurately measure and analyze transit traffic in order to perform traffic accounting, debugging, troubleshooting, forensics, and traffic engineering tasks. Traditional methods of monitoring traffic often fall short when it comes to capturing traffic subpopulations over fixed monitors. This limitation hinders the ability to effectively identify and address traffic-related issues. To address this problem, a framework called MeasuRouting has been developed. MeasuRouting aims to provide a solution that allows for efficient monitoring of transit traffic while working within the constraints of existing intradomain traffic engineering operations.

This framework leverages intradomain routing, which is typically specified for aggregate flows, to enhance the monitoring capabilities and provide more accurate insights into network traffic patterns. By utilizing the MeasuRouting framework, network administrators and engineers can better optimize bandwidth resources, meet quality-of-service constraints, and effectively troubleshoot and debug network issues. This framework offers a more comprehensive and efficient approach to monitoring traffic, ultimately leading to improved network performance and reliability.
