RE: Computing Traffic Matrix from netflow data

Jing,

We did some work on assessing the impact of BGP dynamics on =
intra-domain
traffic, and we found that there was very little impact. You can find
our Sigmetrics 2004 paper at:

http://ipmon.sprint.com/pubs_trs/pubs/supratik/sigmetrics2004.pdf


For papers on IGP link weight optimization, building traffic matrices
from netflow data and related topics, you can visit:

best,

Supratik

Hi ,

Thanks for your help.

To my situation, there is three E-BGP border routers
which connect to the same AS with multiple links. In
order to balance load on those links, BGP
advertisement is modified manually ( for traffic in),
and some part of network traffic is hard routed to
special BGP border router. So, OSPF just control part
of intra-AS traffic  while BGP behavior is modified
too.

In fact, I don't think this is a good manner to follow
in network optimization. But, before we get to know
load requirement, esp. the trends of load variation,
it's not possible to start network optimization.
That's the reason why I do with netflow.

Work on similar problem or information on how those
ISPs do with such problem is valuable.

If I do not make a mistake, above method is good for
deriving traffic matrix for a backbone AS. But my
situation is to optimize a "stub" network connecting
to one AS. The network has its own ASN, it runs BGP
with upper AS when it runs OSPF inside.  Is there any
work on deriving traffic matrix for OSPF area 0?=20
Any work on OSPF optimzation for traffic engineering?

thanks again.=20
