TITLE:
Intelligent Network Measurement for Diagnosis and Attack Defenses
ABSTRACT:
Measurement is a powerful and indispensable technique for discovering
the state of the network and for assisting operational management of
networked systems to ensure good performance and security
properties. Designing the effective measurement technique depending on
the problem context is especially challenging for Internet-based
systems due to issues such as a lack of access, overhead concerns, and
measurement noise. In this talk, I resent our experience in designing
and deploying measurement systems for several Important applications,
e.g., diagnosing routing performance disruptions and prefix hijacking
attacks from end systems, uncovering spammer behavior through
campaign-based analysis, and detecting network neutrality violation in
backbone ISPs. I will summarize lessons learned and discuss our
future work on applying intelligent measurement to relatively new
application domains such as data cellular networks and data center
systems.
