is an open, distributed server platform for researchers to deploy active Internet measurement tools. The goal of M-Lab is to advance network research and empower the public with useful information about their broadband connections. By enhancing Internet transparency, M-Lab helps sustain a healthy, innovative Internet. This article describes M-Lab's objectives, administrative organization, software and hardware infrastructure. It also provides an overview of the currently available measurement tools and datasets, and invites the broader networking research community to participate in the project.

Additional Information: • This article was published in the journal, IET Communications [ c Institution of Engineering and Technology] and the denitive version is available at: http://dx.Abstract The production of a large-scale monitoring system for a high-speed network leads to a number of challenges. These challenges are not purely techinical but also socio-political and legal. The number of stakeholders in a such a monitoring activity is large including the network operators, the users, the equipment manufacturers and of course the monitoring researchers.

Active and Passive Network Measurements : A Survey

2011

One major question facing operators everywhere is how to be sure that everything goes fine as well as how black holes can be detected in their networks? Passive network monitoring is very suitable for this purpose. It can be used for searching problems of a single network device, a major problem affecting the whole LAN or core network. Passive network monitoring, however, is not just for problem solving, it can also be used for creating network statistics or for measuring network performance. As will be seen in this survey, it is a very powerful tool in everyday network life. Delay or packet loss can be measured with either passive or active means. In this survey, the focus is on both passive and active measurements. The goal of this survey is to introduce the reader to passive and active measurements in data networks. Keywords— Network Measurements, Monitoring Methods, Active Measurements, Passive Measurements, Techniques.

Global Measurements: Practice and Experience (Dagstuhl Seminar 16012)

Dagstuhl Reports, 2016

This article summarises a 2.5 day long Dagstuhl seminar on Global Measurements: Practice and Experience held in January 2016. This seminar was a followup of the seminar on Global Measurement Frameworks held in 2013, which focused on the development of global Internet measurement platforms and associated metrics. The second seminar aimed at discussing the practical experience gained with building these global Internet measurement platforms. It brought together people who are actively involved in the design and maintenance of global Internet measurement platforms and who do research on the data delivered by such platforms. Researchers in this seminar have used data derived from global Internet measurement platforms in order to manage networks or services or as input for regulatory decisions. The entire set of presentations delivered during the seminar is made publicly available at [1].

Measurement Infrastructures for Future Internet Testbeds

First Workshop of the Brazilian Institute for Web …, 2010

In this paper we review the proposed measurement infrastructures for Future Internet testbeds, including the GENI Instrumentation and Measurement System (GIMS), and PlanetLab Europe's TopHat measurement service. We conclude proposing an initial set of monitoring resources in order to open a discussion aiming at defining the measurement facility for our Future Internet subproject testbed. Resumo. Neste artigo são revistas as infraestruturas de medições propostas para as redes experimentais de testes para a Futura Internet, incluindo o Sistema de Instrumentação e Medições da GENI (GIMS) e o serviço de medições TopHat do PlanetLab Europa. O artigo conclui propondo um conjunto inicial de recursos de monitoração de modo a abrir uma discussão visando definir os recursos de medções para a rede experimental do nosso subprojeto sobre a Futura Internet.

ICSNC 2016 - The Eleventh International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications

The Eleventh International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications (ICSNC 2016), held on August 21 - 25, 2016 in Rome, Italy, continued a series of events covering a broad spectrum of systems and networks related topics. We welcomed technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard forums or in industry consortiums, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics, short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals. We take here the opportunity to warmly thank all the members of the ICSNC 2016 technical program committee as well as the numerous reviewers. The creation of such a broad and high quality conference program would not have been possible without their involvement. We also kindly thank all the authors that dedicated much of their time and efforts to contribute to the ICSNC 2016. We truly believe that thanks to all these efforts, the final conference program consists of top quality contributions. This event could also not have been a reality without the support of many individuals, organizations and sponsors. We also gratefully thank the members of the ICSNC 2016 organizing committee for their help in handling the logistics and for their work that is making this professional meeting a success. We gratefully appreciate to the technical program committee co-chairs that contributed to identify the appropriate groups to submit contributions. We hope the ICSNC 2016 was a successful international forum for the exchange of ideas and results between academia and industry and to promote further progress in networking and systems communications research. We also hope Rome provided a pleasant environment during the conference and everyone saved some time for exploring this beautiful historic city.

Design and evaluation of the S3 monitor network measurement service on GENI

2012 Fourth International Conference on Communication Systems and Networks (COMSNETS 2012), 2012

Network monitoring capabilities are critical for both network operators and networked applications. In the context of an experimental test facility, network measurement is important for researchers experimenting with new network architectures and applications, as well as operators of the test facility itself. The Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI) is a sophisticated test facility comprised of multiple "control frameworks." In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of S 3 Monitor, a scalable and extensible monitoring service for GENI. A key feature of S 3 Monitor is a flexible design that allows easy "plug in" of new network measurement tools. We discuss our deployment experiences with S 3 Monitor on GENI, and give experimental results to quantify the performance and system footprint of S 3 Monitor. We find that the S 3 Monitor service is lightweight and scales well as the number of paths to be monitored increases. • RSpec-based sensor deployment: GENI RSpecs define mechanisms for installing software on GENI nodes
