Software Defined Traffic Measurement with OpenSketch

چکیده
Most network management tasks in software-defined networks (SDN) involve two stages: measurement and control. While many efforts have been focused on network control APIs for SDN, little attention goes into measurement. The key challenge of designing a new measurement API is to strike a careful balance between generality (supporting a wide variety of measurement tasks) and efficiency (enabling high link speed and low cost). We propose a software defined traffic measurement architecture OpenSketch, which separates the measurement data plane from the control plane. In the data plane, OpenSketch provides a simple three-stage pipeline (hashing, filtering, and counting), which can be implemented with commodity switch components and support many measurement tasks. In the control plane, OpenSketch provides a measurement library that automatically configures the pipeline and allocates resources for different measurement tasks. Our evaluations of realworld packet traces, our prototype on NetFPGA, and the implementation of five measurement tasks on top of OpenSketch, demonstrate that OpenSketch is general, efficient and easily programmable.

Presence of a logically centralized controller in software-defined networks enables smart and fine-grained management of network traffic. Generally, traffic management includes measurement, analysis and control of traffic in order to improve resource utilization. This is done by inspecting corresponding performance requirements using metrics such as packet delay, jitter, loss rate and bandwidth...

Traffic measurement plays an important role in data centers. Many data center management tasks ranging from performance diagnosis, anomaly detection to traffic accounting and engineering all rely on accurate and on-time measurement of the traffic from different tenants and applications. For example, to perform traffic engineering, we need to correctly detect large flow aggregates and pick bette...

Traffic monitoring is essential for accounting user traffic and detecting anomaly traffic such as Internet worms or P2P file sharing applications. Since typical Internet traffic monitoring tools use only TCP/UDP/IP header information, they cannot effectively classify diverse application traffic, because TCP or UDP port numbers could be used by different applications. Moreover, under the recent ...
