| Abstract: |
Internet traffic primarily consists of packets from elastic flows, i.e. Web transfers, file transfers (FTP), and e-mail, whose transfers are mediated via the Transmission Control Protocol. We develop a conditional sampling technique to analyze throughput correlations among elastic flow classes based on flow level measurements from current network traffic monitoring tools. The primary contributions of this paper are: (1) a demonstration of throughput correlation among temporally overlapping flows on congested resources by using analytical/simulation models, and (2) application of a multivariate statistical method (principal components) to infer network properties, such as the number of shared resources by flows in the network from non-intrusive, flow level measurements collected at a single site. Our proposal for using flow level measurements to infer network properties differs significantly from previous network tomography research that has employed end-to-end packet level measurements for making inferences. |
