Design and Implementation of a Network Behavior Analysis-Oriented IP Network Measurement System

Analyzing the characteristic of network behavior provides scientific basis for designing, building, and managing the next generation Internet, and is especially important for monitoring network behavior. This paper establishes a system of metrics that evaluates the behavior of IP networks with respect to the need of analyzing network behavior, introduces the design and implementation of network monitoring system that focuses on the analysis of the characteristics of network behavior, analyzes crucial problems on system design, builds an experiment environment and runs tests on it. The results show that our system satisfies all requirements imposed by real time monitoring network behavior, therefore is able to help the decision making in operating and managing networks.
