Abstract:
We propose the creation of a multi-domain measurement framework with dynamic characteristics identical to that of the network as a whole. Our approach recognises and facilitates the ability of independent network entities to set policies and limits on the use of measurement resources locally while encouraging and facilitating the use of such resources by users interested in network paths that traverse remote administrative domains.
Key words:
active monitoring, end-to-end performance, monitoring framework, multi-domain monitoring, networks, passive monitoring
