High-accuracy network monitoring using ETOMIC testbed

Obtaining an accurate picture of what is happening inside the Internet can be particularly challenging using end-to-end measurements. The ability to make high-precision timing measurements (one-way delay, interarrival times, …) using probe packets is key to attain a clear picture of network performance. The European Traffic Observatory Measurement Infrastructure (ETOMIC) is a high-precision measurement infrastructure, distributed throughout Europe. With the ANME (Advanced Network Monitoring Equipment) boxes and their related software, ETOMIC offers users a versatile monitoring solution that performs both active and passive measurements to a very high level of precision.
