Abstract [en]

We examine the use of gossip protocols for continuous monitoring of network-wide aggregates. Aggregates are computed from local management variables using functions such as AVERAGE, MIN, MAX, or SUM. A particular challenge is to develop a gossip-based aggregation protocol that is robust against node failures. In this paper, we present G-GAP, a gossip protocol for continuous monitoring of aggregates, which is robust against discontiguous failures (i.e., under the constraint that neighboring nodes do not fail within a short period of each other). We formally prove this property, and we evaluate the protocol through simulation using real traces. The simulation results suggest that the design goals for this protocol have been met. For instance, the tradeoff between estimation accuracy and protocol overhead can be controlled, and a high estimation accuracy (below some 5% error in our measurements) is achieved by the protocol, even for large networks and frequent node failures. Further, we perform a comparative assessment of G-GAP against a tree-based aggregation protocol using simulation. Surprisingly, we find that the tree-based aggregation protocol consistently outperforms the gossip protocol for comparative overhead, both in terms of accuracy and robustness.

Abstract [en]

Large-scale dynamic systems, such as the Internet, as well as emerging peer-to-peer networks and computational grids, require a high level of awareness of the system state in real-time for proper and reliable operation. A key challenge is to develop monitoring functions that are efficient, scalable, robust and controllable. The thesis addresses this challenge by focusing on engineering protocols for distributed monitoring of global state variables. The global variables are network-wide aggregates, computed from local device variables using aggregation functions such as SUM, MAX, AVERAGE, etc. Furthermore, it addresses the problem of detecting threshold crossing of such aggregates. The design goals for the protocols are efficiency, quality, scalability, robustness and controllability. The work presented in this thesis has resulted in two novel protocols: a gossip-based protocol for continuous monitoring of aggregates called G-GAP, and a tree-based protocol for detecting thresh old crossings of aggregates called TCA-GAP. The protocols have been evaluated against the design goals through three complementing evaluation methods: theoretical analysis, simulation study and testbed implementation.
