CINBAD keeps an eye on the CERN network infrastructure
Ryszard Erazm Jurga, Milosz Marian Hulboj · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2011
The CINBAD (CERN Investigation of Network Behaviour and Anomaly Detection) project was launched in 2007 as a collaboration between CERN and HP ProCurve Networking. The project's aim was to understand the behaviour of large computer networks in the context of high performance computing and large campus installations such as at CERN. The specific goals of the project were to be able to detect traffic anomalies in such systems, perform trend analysis, automatically take counter measures and provide post-mortem analysis facilities. This paper will present the background, data sources, data collection and analysis approaches as well as the findings.
