FLOW STATISTICS

We have successfully established a complete theoretical foundation called adaptive nonlinear sampling theory for efficient network measurement. The sampling function family, which is the key of the proposed theory, is demonstrated to be the optimal form later by other researchers. This work nicely solves the previous difficulties to accurately estimate the flow attributes with commodity hardware at line rate. In addition, we further develop the theory for expansion into the SDN scenario.

NETWORK MEASUREMENT BASED MANAGEMENT

We have learnt from measurement results, which helped us to address network research problems and further guided us to solve the problems. The “measure- first-design-later” philosophy was applied to quite wide scenarios including inter-domain routing recovery, WSN configuration, queue scheduling, P2P networks, etc.

BIG NETWORK DATA

Analysis on big network data is challenging since one has to handle a massive and rapidly increasing amount of data from many different sources at line rate. Our work addressing the problem are mainly in two categories: one is to inspect the compressed streaming traffic directly, the other is a processing model called Deep semantics inspection (DSI). The key idea of DSI is to obtain a sketch of user behavior at wire speed and then semantics analysis is applied to the obtained sketch with a size several orders of magnitude smaller than that of raw data.
