Edge-enabled Distributed Network Measurement

In the area of network monitoring and measurement a number of good tools are already available. However, most mature tools do not account for changes in network management brought about through Software Defined Networking (SDN). New tools developed to address the SDN paradigm often lack both observation scope and performance scale to support distributed management of accelerated measurement devices, high-throughput network processing, and distributed network function monitoring. In this paper we present an approach to distributed network monitoring and management using an agent-based edge computing framework. In addition, we provide a number of real-world examples where this system has been put into practice.
