RT Conference Proceedings T1 OpenFlowMon: a fully distributed monitoring framework for virtualized environments A1 Cobos Dominguez, Antonio A1 Magalhaes Guimaraes, Carlos Eduardo A1 Oliva Delgado, Antonio de la A1 Zabala Orive, Aitor AB Network monitoring allows a continuous assessment on the health and performance of the network infrastructure. With the significant change on how networks are deployed and operated, mainly due to the advent of virtualization technologies, alternative monitoring approaches are emerging to provide a finer-grained flow monitoring to complement already existing mechanisms and capabilities. In this paper, we proposed and developed an Open-Source Flow Monitoring Framework (OpenFlowMon), a fully distributed monitoring framework implemented solely with open-source solutions. This framework is used to assess the performance and the overhead introduced by two different flow monitoring approaches: (i) switch level and (ii) compute node level monitoring. Results show that monitoring at compute node level not only reduces the overhead but also mitigates a potential complex post-processing in east-to-west traffic.
