Abstract

Despite its graceful bandwidth saving nature, IP multicast has not been successful in widely spreading and using. Challenging includes policy and technological issues such as inter-domain routing, multicast availability and reachability. Properly detecting and isolating the faults would be the first step to stabilize IP multicast. In this paper, we introduce a scalable multicast monitoring framework. To efficiently cope with multicast network and networking problems, it enlarges its monitoring scopes from collecting delivery statistics to verifying end-to-end multicast availability, reachability and interactivity. We carry out various networking experiments to verify the scalability and feasibility of the proposed framework.

IP 멀티캐스트는 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있는 장점에도 불구하고, 관리도메인 간 정책적 이견 및 멀티캐스트 가용성과 도달성 등 기술적 문제로 인해 활용 확장에 한계를 가지고 있다. 멀티캐스트 오류 등 기술적 문제에 대한 탐지 및 차단은 IP 멀티캐스트의 안정화를 위해 우선적으로 해결되어야 할 과제이다. 본 논문은 네트워크와 네트워킹 환경에 대한 오류의 탐지 및 원인 추정이 가능하며, 효율적 활용 유지 확장을 위해 경편성(portability)과 관리성(manageability)을 갖춘 멀티캐스트 모니터링 프레임워크를 제안한다. 제안된 프레임워크는 IP 멀티캐스트의 가용성, 도달성 및 대화성의 탐지가 가능하며 백그라운드(background) 시험 및 요구형(on-demand) 오류 검증을 통해 네트워킹 환경의 성능 장애 요소들을 추정할 수 있다. 또한, 네트워크 자원을 효율적으로 활용함으로써 프레임워크의 확장성(scalability)을 제공한다. 네트워크 테스트베드에서 행해진 실험을 통해 제안된 프레임워크 확장성과 효용성을 입증한다.
