Publication Open Access 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 KonputazioaIn 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.Publication Open Access 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 KonputazioaIn 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.Publication Open Access IPmiser: herramienta de medida and análisis de redes de alta velocidad(1999) Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaLas redes de área extensa IP generan en la actualidad un tráfico difícil de predecir y caracterizar. Así, se hace necesario disponer de herramientas que proporcionen monitorización en tiempo real de los enlaces, sin interrupción y con la máxima fiabilidad y precisión de reloj. La herramienta IPmiser consigue este objetivo mediante un hardware dedicado y una estación de trabajo para el proceso de datos, que es además servidor seguro de información de monitorización. En este artículo se presenta la arquitectura de IPmiser, junto con los resultados más destacables de diversas mediciones en el enlace IP sobre ATM de la Universidad Publica de Navarra.Publication Open Access Analysis and stochastic characterization of TCP flows(Springer, 2000) Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaSince the most Internet services use TCP as a transport protocol there is a growing interest in the characterization of TCP flows. However, the flow characteristics depend on a large number of factors, due to the complexity of the TCP. As a result, the TCS characteristics are normally studies by means of simulations or controlled network setups. In this paper we propose a TCP characterization based on a generic model based of stochastic flow with burstiness and throughput (((σ, ρ)-constraints), which is useful in order to characterize flows in ATM and other flow-switched networks. The model is obtained through extensive analysis of a real traffic trace, comprising an approximate number of 1,500 hosts and 1,700,000 TCP connections. The results suggests that TCP connections in the wide area Internet have low throughput while the packet bursts do not suffer an exponential increase, as indicated by the slow-start behavior. On the other hand, the impact of the connection establishment phase is striking. We note that the throughput of the TCP flow is approximately half the throughput which is obtained in the data transfer phase, namely after the connection has been established.Publication Open Access IPmiser, sistema de monitorización de enlaces ATM a 155Mbps(1998) Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Solana, Juan Ignacio; Ariste, Teresa; Fillmore, David; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaPublication Open Access The European Traffic Observatory Measurement Infraestructure (ETOMIC): a testbed for universal active and passive measurements(IEEE, 2005) Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Alonso Camaró, Ulisses; Csabai, István; Hága, Péter; Simon, Gábor; Stéger, József; Vattay, Gábor; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaThe European Traffic Observatory is a European Union VI Framework Program sponsored effort, within the Integrated Project EVERGROW, that aims at providing a paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with highprecision, GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes. This paper describes the system and node architectures, together with the management system. On the other hand, we also present the testing platform that is currently being used for testing ETOMIC nodes before actual deployment.Publication Open Access Analysis of Internet services in IP over ATM networks(IEEE, 1999) Aracil Rico, Javier; Morató Osés, Daniel; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaThis paper presents a trace-driven analysis of IP over ATM services from a user-perceived quality of service standpoint. QoS parameters such as the sustained throughput for transactional services and other ATM layer parameters such as the burstiness (MBS) per connection are derived. On the other hand, a macroscopic analysis that comprises percentage of flows and bytes per service, TCP transaction duration and mean bytes transferred in both ways is also presented. The traffic trace is obtained with a novel measurement equipment that combines a header extraction hardware and a high end UNIX workstation capable of providing a timestamp accuracy in the order of microseconds. The ATM link under analysis concentrates traffic from a large population of 1,500 hosts from Public University of Navarra campus network, that produce 1,700,000 TCP connections approximately in the measurement period of one week. The results obtained from such a wealth of data suggest that QoS is primarily determined by transport protocols and not by ATM bandwidth. The sustained throughput of TCP connections never grows beyond 80 Kbps with 70% probability in the data transfer phase (i. e., in the ESTABLISHED state) and we observe a strong influence of the connection establishment phase in the user-perceived throughput. On the other hand, the burstiness of individual TCP connections is rather small, namely TCP connections do not produce bursts according to the geometric law given by slow start and commonly assumed in previously published studies.Publication Open Access The European Traffic Observatory Measurement Infraestructure (ETOMIC)(IEEE, 2004) Morató Osés, Daniel; Magaña Lizarrondo, Eduardo; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Aracil Rico, Javier; Naranjo Abad, Francisco José; Astiz Saldaña, Francisco Javier; Simon, Gábor; Stéger, József; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaThe European Traffic Observatory is a European Union VI Framework Program sponsored effort, within the Integrated Project EVERGROW, that aims at providing an paneuropean traffic measurement infrastructure with high-precision, GPS-synchronized monitoring nodes.

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.Publication Open Access Internet traffic shaping for IP over WDM links with source output buffering or multiple parallel wavelengths(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001) Aracil Rico, Javier; Izal Azcárate, Mikel; Morató Osés, Daniel; Automática y Computación; Automatika eta KonputazioaSince the number of wavelengths per fiber is growing in an exponential fashion the over- flow traffic can be routed through overflow lightpaths, thus providing an ideal network with near-infinite capacity and almost no-buffering. Such unprecedented bandwidth growth in the network backbone is only limited by the processing speed of the electronic elements. Even though multiple parallel high-speed channels (lightpaths) are provided between IP routers the switching speed of the latter is an order of magnitude below the lightpath transmission speed. As a result, minimizing transfer delay is not only a matter of forwarding traffic as fast as possible but to shape traffic so that the input queues of the destination routers do not over-flow. Even though it is desirable to exploit the WDM capabilities to forward traffic in parallel channels in order to nearly eliminate the router output buffering, it turns out that the extreme burstiness of Internet traffic is even increased by routing part of the traffic through a backup channel. Instead, the use of source output buffering for traffic shaping purposes proves more beneficial. In this paper, we examine the typical scenario of a static WDM network with several wavelengths between IP routers. In a simple configuration of a primary and over flow lightpath the results show that if 3% of the traffic is routed through the over flow lightpath then the packet forwarding speed in the destination router should be increased in 20% in order to obtain the same transfer delay as with the single lightpath configuration with source output buffering.
