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 />
