초록

네트워크 및 종단 노드의 시스템에 걸친 제한된 자원을 활용하여 실현되는 영상/음성 전달 서비스를 위한 멀티미디어 응용 프로그램의 품질을 보장하기 위해서는 지연, 지터, 손실과 같은 전송 상태와 CPU, 메모리의 사용량과 같은 시스템의 상태를 동시에 관찰하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 액세스그리드 (Access Grid) 경우와 같이 IP 멀티캐스트 상에 동작하는 RTP/RTCP에 기반한 실시간 미디어 응용 프로그램을 대상으로 동적/정적 모니터링 방식을 혼용하여 멀티캐스트 상태와 시스템 상태를 측정하는 혼성 모니터링 방식을 제안한다. 또한 종단간 전송 품질이 저하된 경우 제안한 모니터링 방식에서 측정된 결과를 비교/분석하여 품질 저하의 원인을 판단하고 원인에 적합한 대응방안을 연계하고i라 한다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 네트워크/시스템의 상태 변화에 적응적인 영상/음성 전송 서비스의 가능성을 타진하고 종단간 전송 품질 저하 방지를 위한 효과를 예상한다.

As real-time media applications based on IP multicast networks spread widely, the end-to-end QoS (quality of service) provisioning for these applications have become very important. To guarantee the end-to-end QoS of multi-party media applications, it is essential to monitor the time-varying status of both network metrics (i.e., delay, jitter and loss) and system metrics (i.e., CPU and memory utilization). In this paper, targeting the multicast-enabled AG (Access Grid) group collaboration tool based on multi-Party real-time media services, a hybrid monitoring scheme that can monitor the status of both multicast network and node system is investigated. It combines active monitoring and passive monitoring approaches to measure multicast network. The active monitoring measures network-layer metrics (i.e., network condition) with probe packets while the passive monitoring checks application-layer metrics (i.e., user traffic condition by analyzing RTCP packets). In addition, it measures node system metrics from system API. By comparing these hybrid results, we attempt to pinpoint the causes of performance degradation and explore corresponding reactions to improve the end-to-end performance. The experimental results show that the proposed hybrid monitoring can provide useful information to coordinate the performance improvement of multi-party real-time media applications.
