Increasing resilience of ATM networks using traffic monitoring and automated anomaly analysis
Systematic network monitoring can be the cornerstone for
the dependable operation of safety-critical distributed
systems. In this paper, we present our vision for informed
anomaly detection through network monitoring and
resilience measurements to increase the operators'
visibility of ATM communication networks. We raise the
question of how to determine the optimal level of
automation in this safety-critical context, and we present a
novel passive network monitoring system that can reveal
network utilisation trends and traffic patterns in diverse
timescales. Using network measurements, we derive
resilience metrics and visualisations to enhance the
operators' knowledge of the network and traffic behaviour,
and allow for network planning and provisioning based on
informed what-if analysis
