HP-EMAA: High Performance Ethernet Traffic Monitoring and Analysis System in the Automotive Field
Hela Lajmi, Adel M. Alimi · 2011
The vehicular technology evolves promptly. Indeed many systems are added to the vehicle to offer more comfort and safety to the driver. These improvements engender an increase in electronic components number and consequently of the informative flow. As vehicular computing environments become more network-oriented, the importance of network traffic monitoring and analysis intensifies to insure the security and the good progress of the inter-vehicular communication. This paper presents the design of a High Performance Ethernet traffic Monitoring and Analysis system in the Automotive field, called HP- EMAA. It can run on off-the shelf, on cost-effective computers, support high bitrates (over 400 MBps) and open a gigabyte pcapfile (over 100 Gegabytes). The monitoring and analysis task in HP- EMAA allows online and offline analysis. The effectiveness of HP- EMAA has been verified by applying it to a gateway simulator that generates high speed Ethernet traffic.
