Quality of Service monitoring adopting correlation among active and passive measurements: The experience from the FP7 mPlane project

Abstract

In this work we report the final results of the field demonstration of the European FP7 mPlane project concerning the evaluation of the network performance with particular details regarding the access Quality of Service and traffic monitoring. We show how the proposed and experimented architecture of this measurement plane is fundamental for many future internet evolutions concerning user perception, content popularity web quality and network management. Here we point out the results dedicated to service level agreement verification and certification with analysis of the correlation between passive and active measurements in order to understand some causes concerning network and service anomalies.
