Network Monitoring
• Network monitoring - from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term network monitoring describes the use of a system that
constantly monitors a computer network for slow or failing
components and that notifies the network administrator in case
of outages via email, pager or other alarms. It is a subset of the
functions involved in network management.

NAGIOS Plugins
• Use the usual suite provided by nagios-plugins 1.4.x
• Custom plugins:
– to check BGP sessions (ipv4)
– to check environmental conditions (effectively an SNMP check)
– to check on netflow (another SNMP check with some smarts)

Is Nagios the best?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_network_monitoring_systems
Contact management for AARNet Ops is an issue.
blasts of SMS alarms, going to all engineers
should use service heirarchy, not implemented.
Looking to regionalise alarms – may need to write backend plugin.
ICINGA?
Nagios is well known and commercial support is available.

RPSL
Routing Policy Specification Language
•
•
•
•
•
The Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL) is a language commonly used by
ISPs to describe their routing policies.
The routing policies are stored at various whois databases including RIPE, RADB and
APNIC. ISPs (using automated tools) then generate router configuration files that match
their business and technical policies.
RFC 2622 describes RPSL, and replaced RIPE-181. ( http://www.irr.net/docs/rfc2622.txt )
RFC 2650 provides
id a reference
f
ttutorial
t i l tto using
i RPSL iin th
the real-world.
l
ld
RPSL has been extended with RPSL-NG (RPSL-Next Generation) effort to support IPv6
routing policies and multicast routing policies. RPSL-NG is defined in RFC 4012.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPSL

verification of network.
• Intend to run iPerf up on permanently configured 10G servers –
but could lead to a Denial of Service

Test Kit: details
• Last year:
– 1RU Acer 2.0GHz Intel Xeon servers with CentOS5
• 3 Gbps with standard kernel (2.6.18)
• 6 Gbps with custom kernel 2.6.24
• Updated myri10ge drivers improved performance & stopped hangs
• 3.16GHz desktop E8500 approached 10 Gbps
• Got fastest available Xeon at 3.16 GHz – gave 9.8 Gbps without
being cpu limited.
• Servers were expensive, and not very portable
– Exclusively used the myricom cards with LR singlemode XFP optics

Test Kit: New server details
• Tried new intel core-i7 processors when newly released
– Best pperformance yyet with the slower 2.67 GHz.
• $500 processor getting wirespeed – faster version was 4 x price
– System price around $1600, plus card at $695 + $900 US
• Buy as small a system as possible with same processor

– “If yyou change

In the end delivered with new technology 2.13 GHz Xeon
Client results disappointed a little. – 8, 7.5, 6.5 Gbps as sender
Performed well as server – up to wirespeed
Pty Ltd 2009
Test Kit: New servers: core i7 & small 1RU

25
Measurement tool: iperf
• Memory to memory transfers
• Lots of options – option order is important.
• Command line clients/servers for range of operating systems
– Linux, windows, OSX & other unix.
• Supports TCP and UDP
• Don’t set manual TCP windows – disables window auto-scaling
• Conventional wisdom: use UDP
– Bypasses any TCP tuning/buffering issues. – congestion risk.
– Need undocumented –l option to set jumbo datagram size
– Don’t do it! – tune your TCP stack for better results & side-step
congestion.
