How to Support the Diversity of Network Measurement Requirements

As the rapid development of network, the requirement of network measurement becomes various and the results of network measurement are applied in many fields including anomaly detection, accounting, network management etc. But the measurement resources are limit and the measurement tools or algorithms are not flexible. So how to support the diversity of network measurement requirements must be studied. With reference to the SDM, this paper proposes a novel hierarchical measurement structure including three layers and provides the network measurement reconfiguration model (NMRM).The NMRM decouples the measurement requirement from the measurement resources and supplies an ability of reconfiguration of network measurement by composing the measurement resources according to some measurement requirement dynamically. The NMRM can support flexible, dynamic and concurrent measurement in the network.
