    (2005) Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardos; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Aracil Rico, Javier; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Aracil Rico, Javier; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In this paper we present the first set of active measurements that we have made using the ETOMIC system. ETOMIC is a paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. Specific hardware is used in order to provide high-precision transmission and reception capabilities. Besides, the system is open and any experiment can be executed. Internet measurements with high infrastructure requirements are now possible like one-way delay, routes and topology changing, congestion detection and virtual path aggregation detection. We will explain the results and how easy is to implement these measurements using the tools provided by ETOMIC, specially the API for using the specific sending and receiving capabilities.

    IP traffic prediction and equivalent bandwidth for DAMA TDMA protocols
    (IEEE, 2003) Aracil Rico, Javier; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    The use of IP traffic prediction techniques for DAMA TDMA protocols is investigated in this paper. The predicted traffic distribution is derived when the input traffic shows long-range dependence features. Furthermore, an equivalent bandwidth is calculated, which allows the wireless terminal to request a certain amount of bandwidth (slot duration) in terms of a target traffic loss probability. The numerical results indicate very good traffic prediction capabilities, together with moderate bandwidth loss.

    Delay-throughput curves for timer-based OBS burstifiers with light load
    (IEEE, 2006) Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    The OBS burstifier delay-throughput curves are analyzed in this paper. The burstifier incorporates a timer-based scheme with minimum burst size, i. e., bursts are subject to padding in light-load scenarios. Precisely, due to this padding effect, the burstifier normalized throughput may not be equal to unity. Conversely, in a high-load scenario, padding will seldom occur. For the interesting light-load scenario, the throughput delay curves are derived and the obtained results are assessed against those obtained by trace-driven simulation. The influence of long-range dependence and instantaneous variability is analyzed to conclude that there is a threshold timeout value that makes the throughput curves flatten out to unity. This result motivates the introduction of adaptive burstification algorithms, that provide a timeout value that minimizes delay, yet keeping the throughput very close to unity. The dependence of such optimum timeout value with traffic long-range dependence and instantaneous burstiness is discussed. Finally, three different adaptive timeout algorithms are proposed, that tradeoff complexity versus accuracy.

    Predicción de tráfico de Internet and aplicaciones
    (2001) Bernal, I.; Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Díez Marca, L. A.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In this paper we focus on traffic prediction as a means to achieve dynamic bandwidth allocation in a generic Internet link. Our findings show that coarse prediction (bytes per interval) proves advantageous to perform dynamic link dimensioning, even if we consider a part of the top traffic producers in the traffic predictor.

    (Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2010) Csabai, István; Fekete, Attila; Hága, Péter; Hullár, Béla; Kurucz, Gábor; Laki, Sándor; Mátray, Péter; Stéger, József; Vattay, Gábor; Espina Antolín, Félix; García-Jiménez, Santiago; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Morató Osés, Daniel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Gómez, Francisco; González, Iván; López Buedo, Sergio; Moreno, Víctor; Ramos, Javier; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    ETOMIC is a network traffic measurement platform with high precision GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. The infrastructure is publicly available to the network research community, supporting advanced experimental techniques by providing high precision hardware equipments and a Central Management System. Researchers can deploy their own active measurement codes to perform experiments on the public Internet. Recently, the functionalities of the original system were significantly extended and new generation measurement nodes were deployed. The system now also includes well structured data repositories to archive and share raw and evaluated data. These features make ETOMIC as one of the experimental facilities that support the design, development and validation of novel experimental techniques for the future Internet. In this paper we focus on the improved capabilities of the management system, the recent extensions of the node architecture and the accompanying database solutions.

    The ETOMIC active probing infrastructure: demo proposal
    (2006) Csabai, István; Hága, Péter; Simon, Gábor; Stéger, József; Vattay, Gábor; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    ETOMIC (www.etomic.org) is a European Union sponsored effort, that aims at providing a Paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure. This infrastructure contains 15 PC based active probing nodes equipped with high-precision, sending capable DAG cards and GPS receivers to achieve time synchronization. Such cards are specifically designed to transmit packet trains with strict timing, in the range of nanoseconds. Every kind of active probing techniques can be applied on the nodes, from the quite simple ping application to the complex network tomography methods which are based on the synchronized sending capability of the DAG cards. The measurement nodes are centrally managed via a web platform, where the new arbitrary measurement jobs can be uploaded to and handled. The management system schedules the jobs and does the maintenance tasks. Now, the infrastructure is opened to the networking community. This paper describes the node architectures, the management system, and the proposed conference demonstration.

    Multiresolution analysis of optical burst switching traffic
    (IEEE, 2003) Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In this paper, a Multiresolution Analysis is conducted in order to study the self-similar features of Optical Burst Switching (OBS) traffi c. The scenario consists of an OBS backbone with input traffic from a large number of Internet users, that generate Poisson-arriving heavytailed bursts. The results show that long-range dependence is preserved at timescales longer than the burst assembly timeout value while the traffic variability at short timescales is increased.

    On linear prediction of Internet traffic for packet and burst switching networks
    (IEEE, 2001) Morató Osés, Daniel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Díez Marca, L. A.; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    In this paper, we show that prediction algorithms in the least mean square error sense prove better in a burst rather than in a packet switching network. For the latter, further information about the packet arrival distribution within the prediction interval is required. Regarding burst switching, we compare Optical Burst Switching networks with and without linear prediction to conclude that linear prediction provides a significant improvement in end-to-end latency with low bandwidth waste.

    Blocking time analysis of OBS routers with arbitrary burst size distribution
    (IEEE, 2003) Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Miqueleiz Alamos, J.; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta Konputazioa
    The blocking time distribution for an OBS router is obtained, under the assumption of Poisson-arriving bursts with Pareto, Gaussian and Exponential burst size distributions. Analytical expressions are provided as a function of number of wavelengths per port. Such expressions can be used to dimension Fiber Delay Lines (FDLs) and to perform end-to-end delay estimation. On the other hand, we show that the blocking time distribution becomes exponential as the number of wavelengths increases, regardless of the burst size distribution. Since the burst size distribution is determined by the burst assembly algorithm at the network edges, we conclude that the burst assembly algorithm will have no influence on both burst blocking probability and burst blocking time in future DWDM networks.
