A policy-based network measurement method, system and measurement machine

Abstract

The present invention provides a policy-based network measurement method, a policy-based network measurement system and a measurement machine. The policy-based network measurement method and the policy-based network measurement system are used for measurement task configuration on measurement machines so that a test tool can perform measurement tasks. The policy-based network measurement method includes the following steps that: the measurement configuration information of measurement tasks on the measurement machines which is correlated with the needs of users is obtained, wherein the measurement configuration information of the measurement tasks includes measurement targets, scheduling policies, and / or measurement parameters; and the measurement targets are allocated to the measurement machines according to the scheduling policies, so that measurement relations between the measurement machines and the measurement targets can be generated, and a measurement target configuration file is generated for each of the measurement machines; and the measurement tasks are obtained through actively sending file acquisition requests, and a measurement tool is called to execute the measurement tasks so as to obtain measurement result data. With the policy-based network measurement method and the policy-based network measurement system of the invention adopted, simplicity and flexibility in the execution of the measurement tasks can be realized; automatic allocation of the measurement targets and the measurement machines can be realized; network communication overhead can be reduced; and resource isolation is performed, so that concurrent task interference can be avoided; and high scalability is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of communication networks, and relates to a measurement method and system, in particular to a policy-based network measurement method, system and measurement machine. Background technique [0002] Since the birth of the Internet, network measurement technology has also emerged. In order to recognize and understand the behavioral characteristics and performance of the modern Internet, to ensure and improve the quality of existing network services, and to promote the healthy development of the Internet and information infrastructure, people continue to study various methods of network measurement. [0003] Most traditional network measurement objects are measured at the network layer, such as network link transmission delay, packet loss rate, network topology, routing, etc. With the development of the Internet and the popularization of applications such as web and multimedia, it is imperative to perform appli...
