FAULT IDENTIFICATION IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS USING TIME SERIES ANALYSIS

Fault management is crucial to provide quality of service grantees for the future networks, and fault identification is an essential part of it. A novel fault identification algorithm is proposed in this paper, which focuses on the anomaly detection of network traffic. Since the fault identification has been achieved using statistical information in management information base, the algorithm is compatible with the existing simple network management protocol framework. The network traffic time series is verified to be non-stationary. By fitting the adaptive autoregressive model, the series is transformed into a multidimensional vector. The training samples and identifiers are acquired from the network simulation. A k-nearest neighbor classifier identifies the system faults after being trained. The experiment results are consistent with the given fault scenarios, Which prove the accuracy of the algorithm. The identification errors are discussed to illustrate that the novel fault identification algorithm is adaptive in the fault scenarios with network traffic change.     

DYNAMIC REQUEST DISPATCHING ALGORITHM FOR WEB SERVER CLUSTER

Distributed architectures support increased load on popular web sites by dispatching client requests transparently among multiple servers in a cluster. Packet Single-Rewriting technology and client address hashing algorithm in ONE-IP technology which can ensure application-session-keep have been analyzed, an improved request dispatching algorithm which is simple, effective and supports dynamic load balance has been proposed. In this algorithm, dispatcher evaluates which server node will process request by applying a hash function to the client IP address and comparing the result with its assigned identifier subset; it adjusts the size of the subset according to the performance and current load of each server, so as to utilize all servers＇ resource effectively. Simulation shows that the improved algorithm has better performance than the original one.
