A distributed infrastructure for monitoring network resources
Augusto Ciuffoletti, Yari Marchetti · CINECA IRIS Institutial research information system (University of Pisa) · 2012
When an infrastructure is used to process complex workflows by way of an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), network monitoring becomes mandatory to ensure the required quality of service and to optimize the utilization of the whole infrastructure. In this paper we explore this scenario, evaluate the issues that come with the network monitoring operation, and propose a practical solution. To support our claims, we introduce a network monitoring infrastrucure that has been implemented as a proof of concept for the foundations of our solution.
