Overview.- Part I Scalable Traffic Monitoring with Packet Sampling.- Load Characterization and Measurement.- Flow Characterization and Measurement.- Part II Scalable Delay Monitoring with Active Probing.- Analysis of Point-To-Point Delay in an Operational Backbone.
From the reviews:
“In great detail, the authors discuss the notions of flow and of elephants versus mice in the context of network traffic. ... The authors discuss the shortcomings of static sampling and packet counting, and note the important contribution the packet size has on the load. ... Altogether, the insights covered in the book should be interesting to network designers.” (J. S. Edwards, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2011)
