Existing measurement frameworks typically assume that the communication protocols and
mechanisms running on the devices do not change during network operation. However …

Network measurements often require the coordinated use of multiple tools on distributed
vantage points. Without any form of supporting command and control system, the …

The focus of this thesis is continuous real-time monitoring, which is essential for the
realization of adaptive management systems in large-scale dynamic environments. Real …

In recent years, the point of view in network research has changed. Instead of providing so
called one-fitsall solutions which by design have limited applicability when conditions are …

Future mobile applications will increasingly rely on direct communication among devices or
with the environment-eg, sensors-to provide interactive experiences to their users. The …

Networks have been expanding in scale and speeds, however, it is difficult to troubleshoot
network problems because of specific measurement policies and services in different …

We propose a platform for the rapid prototyping of active measurement tools to collect
network characteristics. The proposed platform provides its users with basic active …

Network monitoring is necessary so as to ensure high reliability and availability in telecom
networks. One of the main challenges posed by state-of-the-art monitoring tools is the …

In order to satisfy and maintain service level agreements (SLAs), which demand high
network availability and good network health, ISPs have started instrumenting their networks …

In many cases, application-level measurements can be the only way for an application to
evaluate and adapt to the performance offered by the underlying networks. Applications …
