Network Tomography: parting thoughts

1
Network Tomography parting thoughts

• models
• descriptive vs. constructive
• application/data/structure driven
• parsimony
• correlation
• inverse mapping problem
• statistics, estimation, filtering,
• seeds for a measurement science
• tool for network science

Network Tomography challenges

• application driven tomography
• error tolerance/timescales, other metrics
• other network architectures
• wireless, overlays
• inference from the middle
• combining end-end and interior measurements
• placing into the mainstream
• better measurement/analysis practices
• O-D traffic matrices
• overlays? network management? reconfigurable
  multicast?
• scalability
