Abstract:
Traffic information is required to perform traffic engineering. However, as the network that require traffic engineering becomes large, the overhead to collect the traffic amount information required for traffic engineering becomes large. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the overhead to collect the traffic amount information. In our method, we select a subset of nodes and collect the traffic amount information only from the selected nodes. Then, we estimate the traffic amount on each link by using the information collected from the selected nodes. According to simulation results, our method can estimate the traffic amount on each link required for traffic engineering accurately by monitoring 30% of all nodes.
