| Description | In this technical report, we present a framework for virtual network monitoring, which was deployed in FEDERICA project (Federated E-infrastructure Dedicated to European Researchers Innovating in Computing network Architectures). It uses a flow-based approach, which acquires NetFlow data from the FEDERICA network and processes it by the open-source collector NfSen. The NfSen collector doesn't provide a special tool for the monitoring of virtual networks. Especially we have no long-term statistics about the FEDERICA network accessible in real-time, a possibility to inspect the traffic with the respect of particular virtual networks or a possibility to generate regular report statistics. Therefore we have extended the NfSen collector by the set of tools supporting virtual network monitoring. These tools support real-time access to the long-term monitoring data and statistics, provides various types of reports and performs more detailed views of the virtual network traffic. |
