  1. Monitoring PersistentlyCongestedInternet Links Leiwen (Karl) Deng Aleksandar Kuzmanovic Northwestern University http://networks.cs.northwestern.edu

  2. Objective • New probing methods that can improve measurement observability for core congestion • Pong – a tool specialized in measuring a subset of non-edge links exhibiting repetitive congestion • Can reveal systematic problems such as routing pathologies, poorly-engineered network policies, or non-cooperative inter-AS relationships • Lightweight: monitoring in addition to on-demand measuring • A building block of a large scale triggered monitoring system for Internet congestion

  3. Repetitive Congestion • We focus on locating and monitoring non-edge links that exhibit repetitive congestion • Queuing delay as congestion indicator • Queue building-up repetitively happens on time scales ofone or more minutes.

  4. Methodology Highlights • Coordinated probing • Probe from both endpoints of a path • Combine end-to-end probes with (TTL limited) probes to intermediate routers • Infer underlying path topology conditions • Implicit inference • Based on measured queuing delays on different probing paths • Use statistics over longer time scales • Quantify measurement accuracy • Link measurability score

Build multiple bottlenecks: Cross traffics are added to corresponding links concurrently.

  17. Optimizing Pong in the Internet • Set queuing delay threshold • Based on distribution of queuing delay samples • Tune other parameters based on experiments on the PlanetLab • Minimize measurement errors • Detect and react to anomalies (clock skews, router alterations, ICMP queuing, etc) • Use instantaneous quality of measurement value as sample weight • Quantify measurement quality • Help select vantage points

  18. Quantify Measurement Quality • Help select vantage points • Link measurability score • Probing technique and quality of measurability • Queuing delay threshold quality • Observability score • Congestion observed on a less frequently congested link can be blurred by a much more frequently congested link on the same path.

  19. Conclusion • Pong – a tool specialized in measuring a subset of non-edge links exhibiting repetitive congestion • Coordinated probing • Infer underlying path topology conditions • Select probing techniques online • Quality of measurability • Quantify measurement quality • Link measurability score
