Among many others
Challenges
• Network topology discovery
• Heisenberg
– Probes load the network at the worst time
– Path or end to end performance but not both
• Visualizations for paths
– Topology and paths
– Route changes
• Synchronization and One way delay
• Load balancing and packet loss
• Missing values and clean up
• Complexity of networks
• Volume of data (GB per day)
Discovery via the fusion of multiple data sources
• SNMP• IP RR• Traceroute• I/O octet count correlation• Delay distance• End to end shadow of network events
Synchronization
Link level network delay via TTL flood
• Multiple packets with IP RR for a range of TTL are sent between endpoints
• ICMP messages are received from routers along the way
• Results are used to estimate link level delays

Network Sampling Design
• Where to place the probes
– Minimize the number of probes needed
– Minimize the degeneracy
– Subject to many constraints
• Where to measure QoS attributes and covariates
– Minimize the footprint
– Minimize the time to blame
• Dynamic sampling programs
Chatter
• Distributed network monitor• Lives on cheap 100 MHz box• Online root cause analysis• Seeks failure patterns among arbitrary
covariates that are not specified a priori• Uses adaptive control charts on important
QoS attributes to identify interesting conditions
Compression
• Compression is needed to prevent the transmission and storage of uninteresting data
• The data are highly dimensional
• The collection is distributed
• How should the compression be distributed
Localization
• Data collection is distributed
• What methods are local (analysis requiring only the local data) or near local (analysis requiring limited exchange of information between neighbors)?
• Are there sampling design that affect localization?
