• Integrated Topology Discovery, Monitoring, Modelling, Visual Data Mining and Simulation Platform using data base with policy control for inter-domain QoS Analysis.
• Measurement based modelling, simulation and visual data mining using inputs from inter-domain monitoring and topology discovery tools.
  
• Automated scenario configuration using policy based control of different kinds of INTERMON tools and their interaction for performing specific task in the area of inter-domain capacity planning and QoS analysis.
  
• Automated support for integrated Internet inter-domain structure analysis, QoS and traffic monitoring, measurement based modelling, simulation and visual data mining using data base with policy control for performing specific analysis:
  • monitoring, modelling, simulation, validation, planning, forecasting and optimisation of QoS in inter-domain environment (spatial composition of end-to-end into inter-domain QoS).
  • Inter-domain traffic engineering and capacity planning (traffic matrix).
• Modular user interface for tools, management functions and data base integration (“open data base”).
  

• The autonomous way of integration allow tool execution based on independent tasks using the specific tool.
• Policy controlled integration is managed by rules defining tool specific parameters, data base access and tool interaction.

   

• Tool selection (visual data mining, simulation, modelling, monitoring, topology discovery) and tool interaction policies (tool combination) – i.e. policy control of INTERMON tools and their interactions.
• Data Base with Configuration , Access and Authorisation policies.

• Example for inter-domain topology discovery between end systems in Salzburg (Austria) and Madrid (Spain).

Modelling tools

• Menus for measurement based QoS and traffic modelling.
  Example - forecasting with ARIMA models.
  
  
  
  

Monitoring Tools

• Functions for end-to-end QoS monitoring (CM Toolset), traffic measurement (IPFIX), path topology discovery (traceroute), inter-domain routing (BGP-4) analyser.
• Functions for policy controlled usage of monitoring tools for performing specific tasks (QoS dependency on topology and routing, inter-domain QoS inferencing).
• Example IPFIX traffic flow monitoring - interface for flow specification
  
  

Controls

• Management and control of available tools (remote meter/adapters, control stations), distributed data bases belonging to INTERMON toolkit.
• Topological and geographical mapping of INTERMON Toolkit resources.
