Traffic Dynamics-Aware Probe Selection for Fault Detection in Networks
# 64
Abstract
Fault detection in modern networks is done with a set of specially instrumented nodes which send probes to find health of other nodes. These probes generate additional traffic in the network and compete with other regular traffic for bandwidth. In this talk, we will discuss a problem of dynamically changing the probes based on traffic dynamics experienced by nodes. To change the probes dynamically, we use the traffic profiles generated with I/O statistics. The idea is to generate a weighted graph of the network using these traffic profiles and subsequently select a set of probes such that every node is probed by at least one probe and the selected probes pass through less congested nodes. Unfortunately, this turns out to be a NP complete problem. We will discuss few greedy algorithms to select probes from these weighted graphs of the network. We will also briefly discuss the simulation experiments and evaluation done with large scale graphs taken from the ISP networks.
