The Hierarchical Network Monitoring Model with Bounded Bandwidth and Delay Constraints
|
Abstract:
Designing optimal monitoring infrastructure is a key step for network monitoring. In this paper the problem of optimizing a hierarchical monitoring system is to reduce the cost of deployment of the monitoring infrastructure by identifying a minimum aggregating set subject to bandwidth constraints on the individual links and delay constraint on the aggregating path. The problem is NP-hard and approximation algorithm is proposed with performance guarantee ln d + 1 under unique aggregating route, where d is the number of monitoring object.
