LEISURE: Load-Balanced Network-Wide Traffic Measurement and Monitor Placement

Abstract— LEISURE: Load-Balanced Network-Wide Traffic Measurement and Monitor Placement. Network-wide traffic measurement is of interest to network operators to uncover global network behavior for the management tasks of traffic accounting, debugging or < Final Year Projects 2016 > troubleshooting security, and traffic engineering.Increasingly,sophisticated network measurement tasks such as anomaly detection and security forensic analysis are requiring in-depth fine-grained flow-level measurements. (e.g., detailed payload analysis) is often an expensive process. Given the fast-changing Internet traffic landscape and large traffic volume, a single monitor is not capable of accomplishing the measurement tasks for all applications of interest due to its resource constraint. Moreover, uncovering global a network behavior requires network-wide traffic measurements at multiple monitors.
