Abstract

IP traffic behavior is becoming increasingly complicated and complex with the appearance of new applications and new protocols in Internet. We give a design to implement fine-granularity and configurable distributed measurement method of multi-protocol traffic behavior. Our study shows that probing points can be distributed to different the Functional Processing Module (FPM) along the traffic path through the router, and each FPM can implement configurable and protocol-sensitive collection of packet information with accurate timing stamps. We develop a novel traffic mirroring method to avoid affecting normal packet processing in case of some occasional failures. Our experiments based on practical implementation of measurement in a router show that less than 15% of total logic resources and less than 20 nanoseconds of timing precision can be achieved by our methods, which is more efficient and accurate than Special Packet capturing Card with an acceptable cost.
