Abstract

Network monitoring and management rely extensively upon network protocol identification as one of the most basic acts of analysis of network traffic. However, the conventional method of identifying network protocols based upon standard or well-known port numbers is no longer sufficient for modern networks, given the propensities for users and programs to change ports dynamically or use nonstandard ports. Unfortunately, this calls into question the ability of the collection of standard tools to gather reliable network intelligence.

Towards a Monitoring Protocol Over Information-Centric Networks
ACM-ICN '16: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM Conference on Information-Centric Networking

Managing data centers remains an important challenge despite the extensive research in this area. As the future prospective of networking is location-agnostic networks as in Information Centric Networking (ICN), some problems are solved but new ...
A Multi-perspective Monitoring Engine for Hybrid Networks
CSIE '09: Proceedings of the 2009 WRI World Congress on Computer Science and Information Engineering - Volume 01

The goal of our research work is to develop an integrated network management platform with an innovative multi-perspective monitoring engine for hybrid networks. The system can efficiently integrate different aspects of the networks, such as link-state, ...
