Abstract

This paper provides insights into the traffic flow monitoring system of OF@TEIN (OpenFlow@Trans Eurasia Information Network) testbed. OF@TEIN is software defined networking (SDN) testbed adapted by KOREN (KOrea advanced REsearch Network) and integrated with the research and education networks of several Asian nations including Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippine, etc. Traditional traffic monitoring solutions such as NetFlow, RSPAN ports, Network Packet Brokers (NPBs) can't provide network-wide visibility in OF@TEIN because OF@TEIN is a large multi-tenant testbed deployed over high speed research networks across several countries. Therefore, we have implemented a new sFlow-based flow monitoring system that is tailored to OF@TEIN requirements and can provide real-time L2 to L7 network wide visibility. OF@TEIN uses SDN-based network virtualization to slice the network among multiple concurrent experimenters. Machines in a network slice (or VLAN) communicate with each other using GRE tunnels. Our traffic monitoring system enables monitoring flow spaces of VLANs as well as physical provider network. It utilizes northbound interfaces (NBIs) exposed by sFlow-RT analytics engine and FloodLight SDN Controller. It periodically fetches flows statistics from sFlow-RT and stores them in time-series format in Whisper RRD database. Graphite real-time charting tool is used to plot the statistics stored in Whisper.

使用sFlow的OF@TEIN SDN测试平台的全网流量可见性
本文对OF@TEIN (OpenFlow@Trans欧亚信息网)试验台的交通流量监测系统进行了研究。OF@TEIN是由KOREN(韩国先进研究网络)改编的软件定义网络(SDN)测试平台,并与日本,马来西亚,泰国,越南,菲律宾等几个亚洲国家的研究和教育网络集成。传统的流量监控解决方案,如NetFlow, RSPAN端口,网络数据包代理(NPBs)不能在OF@TEIN中提供全网可见性,因为OF@TEIN是一个大型的多租户测试平台,部署在多个国家的高速研究网络上。因此,我们实现了一个新的基于sflow的流量监控系统,该系统是根据OF@TEIN的要求量身定制的,可以提供实时的L2到L7网络的可见性。OF@TEIN使用基于sdn的网络虚拟化在多个并发实验者之间对网络进行切片。网络片(或VLAN)中的机器使用GRE隧道相互通信。我们的流量监控系统可以监控vlan的流量空间以及物理提供商网络。它利用sFlow-RT分析引擎和泛光灯SDN控制器暴露的北向接口(nbi)。它定期从sFlow-RT中获取流量统计数据,并以时间序列格式存储在Whisper RRD数据库中。Graphite实时绘图工具用于绘制存储在Whisper中的统计数据。
