for supporting the traffic engineering of <strong>IP</strong>-based networks is presented in [170]. Different types<br />
monitoring measurements have been identified and are either passive or active. Passive<br />
measurement means that the statistics of the network element are maintained in the form of a<br />
Management Information Base (MIB), whereas in active measurement, test packets are injected into<br />
the network (like ping test) to gather information. Information collected about these packets are<br />
taken as representative of the behavior of the network. Metrics of this data are described in the<br />
framework presented in [171]. Different measurement can be made to collect information of the<br />
network. Here a list of not-exhaustive measurements:<br />
• Flow-based: gathers information about each flow in the network, but it causes a<br />
scalability problem.<br />
• Interface-based, link-based and node-based: collects information of each interface in<br />
the network element.<br />
• Node-pair-based: it is used essentially to calculate the performance of edge-to-edge<br />
performance of a core network.<br />
• Path-based: it is similar to pair-based measurement and may be used for admission<br />
control.<br />
In the rest of this section, we will interest to QoS measurement, essentially the bandwidth usage<br />
metrics. This measurement is protocol independent and media independent to ensure both<br />
portability and commonality in the measurements and allow a dynamic packet video marking.<br />
Figure 5-7 illustrates how hierarchical measurement estimates the traffic matrix for a large ISP.<br />
Each router performs a passive monitoring of incoming traffic (i.e. BW ij : bandwidth usage for<br />
router i in its interface j). Through regular update, each router provides a partial view of the<br />
network. MCA (Measurement Collection Agent) aggregate this partial measurement the result is<br />
given to the PDP. PDP aggregates all the measurement into a matrix that gives the PDP a global<br />
status of the network and can generate feedback from the network.<br />
