Abstract :
Although there are many “measurements” of the Internet today, they operate independently. So measurement results are hard to compare and systems are hard to scale and integrate into existing network management. This paper presents an architecture for large-scale measurements, analyses the interactions between the various components and discusses how to standardise a couple of the interactions. Such a standardised architecture could allow measurement capabilities to be embedded into every home gateway and edge device, thereby enabling (for example) operators to provision and manage their networks more effectively.
