On the Framework for Network Measurement as a Service -- The perfSONAR-based Integrated Network Management

An integration of multiple-location, diverse-type, and long-term measurements has been considered a key means for continuous acquisition of the global status and for timely and cost-efficient identification of the causes of communication performance degradation. In addition, the measured data and analyzed results should be shared and reused for efficiency. Therefore, a global network measurement platform as a service is indispensible, which can provide integrated network monitoring and analysis functionality on-demand and can adapt to the purposes of the individual users (applications) and operators. In this report, we briefly introduce the design and implementation of an integrated network measurement system, together with a preliminary experiment on the Internet.
