Workpackages

Drafts

• Technical analysis of cutting edge technologies and standardisation proposals for Inter-domain QoS monitoring, Internet structure discovery, macroscopic modelling and visualisation.

• Market analysis to identify available products and implementations

• Requirements concerning costs, interoperability, scalability and reliability of the architecture>

• INTERMON architecture and their interworking with a data base with policy controlled data collection

• interfaces between functional components of the architecture
  

• Contribute to standardisation bodies like IETF, IRTF, EOMG, ITU, etc.

• Inter-domain monitoring and Internet structure discovery tools

• filtering and correlation of inter-domain QoS monitoring information, as well as processing of relationships of different kind of INTERMON data.

• distributed data base with policy-controlled data collection

• inter-domain traffic aggregate models

• single domain structure model to reproduce the impacts each domain has on the traffic that traverses it

• model reproducing the behaviour of several interconnected domains

• Hybrid Discrete-Continuous Flow (HDFC) paradigm to combine discrete and continuous flows resulting in fast simulation and considerable modeling flexibility

• Short term models for operational management

• Long term models for network planning

• inter-domain QoS visualisation requirements (visual models and techniques) for inter-domain QoS analysis from ISP operator's, application provider's and user's point of view.

• modular and configurable user interface to INTERMON data

• evaluate component interworking

• compare monitored inter-domain QoS and load with modelling predictions (validation)
