Network Service Assurance and Telemetry optimisation using Heuristics

This paper identifies possible solution to reduce amount data retrieved for purpose of network monitoring, while retaining the quality of information. Legacy methods used for network service monitoring data using and data retrieved by use of synthetic tests are usually decoupled - describing different contexts. As a result, there is too many monitored operational parameters on monitored devices and consequently too much measurement data exported from network service probes. Novel approach is suggested to perform heuristic analysis of the network service configuration and decomposition of collected data at the network edge. Objective is that amount of collected data can be reduced while at the same time quality of the presented information can be improved by providing clear correlation between network service and telemetry data.
