A Platform for Unobtrusive Measurements on PlanetLab
نویسندگان
چکیده
TCP Sidecar is a network measurement platform for injecting probes transparently into externally generated TCP streams. By coupling measurement probes with nonmeasurement traffic, we are able to obtain measurements behind NATs and firewalls without alerting intrusion detection systems. In this paper, we discuss Sidecar’s design and our deployment experience on PlanetLab. We present preliminary results from Sidecar-based tools for RTT estimation (“sideping”) and receiver-side bottleneck location (“artrat”).

The Interdomain Connectivity of PlanetLab Nodes
In this paper we investigate the interdomain connectivity of PlanetLab nodes. We note that about 85 percent of the hosts are located within what we call the Global Research and Educational Network (GREN) — an interconnected network of high speed research networks such as Internet2 in the USA and Dante in Europe. Since traffic with source and destination on the GREN is very likely to be transite...
متن کاملIntegration of OMF-Based Testbeds in a Global-Scale Networking Facility
PlanetLab is a global scale platform for experimentation of new networking applications in a real environment. It consists of several nodes, offered by academic institutions or companies spread all over the world, that can be shared by the networking community for its tests. The main drawback of PlanetLab is its scarce heterogeneity in terms of the access technologies it offers. In this paper w...
متن کاملDfuntest: A Testing Framework for Distributed Applications
New ideas in distributed systems (algorithms or protocols) are commonly tested by simulation, because experimenting with a prototype deployed on a realistic platform is cumbersome. However, a prototype not only measures performance but also verifies assumptions about the underlying system.We developed dfuntest — a testing framework for distributed applications that defines abstractions and test...
متن کاملSONoMA: A Service Oriented Network Measurement Architecture
Distributed network measurements are essential to characterize the structure, dynamics and operational state of the Internet. Although in the last decades several such systems have been created, the easy access of these infrastructures and the orchestration of complex measurements are not solved. We propose a system architecture that combines the flexibility of mature network measurement facili...

Internet video constitutes more than half of all consumer traffic. Most of the video traffic is delivered by content delivery networks (CDNs). The huge amount of traffic from video CDNs poses problems to access providers. To unde...
