Abstract

The importance of large-scale measurement infrastructures for grasping the global state of the Internet is recently strongly emphasized. However, a fundamental analysis of these infrastructures has not yet been conducted. In this paper, we highlight the formation of measurement networks and provide a first look at measurement activities performed on those networks. We also propose a scheme for constructing a measurement network, which divides the measurement agent's roles into core agent and stub agent. This scheme entails only simple adjustment for changing the formation of the measurement network. Through the transition from a centralized system to hybrid and pure peer-to-peer networks, we visualize the flow of measurement procedures and explore the factors that have an influence on the overall performance of measurement systems.
