Inter-Domain Monitoring (IST InterMON) - by Ulrich Hofmann, Salzburg Research Forschungsgesellschaft m.b.H (AT)

The objective of the IST INTERMON project is to analyse and develop an Inter-Domain QoS monitoring and analysis architecture for validation, planning, forecasting and optimisation of inter-domain QoS by integrating different components for automated Internet inter-domain structure analysis, QoS and traffic monitoring, measurement based modelling, simulation and visual data mining using data base with policy control. Inter-domain route stability analysis from view point of end-to-end connection allows promptly location of inter-domain routing and performance problems by network administrators and to analyse the impact of inter-domain routing events on end-to-end QoS. Initially developed in the AQUILA EU project for QoS /SLA monitoring, the CM Toolset was enhanced in INTERMON EU project with new facilities for active topology discovery (traceroute) and time series data analysis of QoS parameter data to get valid and useful status information over long time for performance and fault management, network resource planning and active QoS/SLA monitoring.
