Network Visibility and Monitoring: 5B
- Patience Nagaba
Description
Modern networks are the backbone of our connected world, but increasing scale, complexity, and dependency mean that outages and performance degradation can quickly disrupt services and users. This track focuses on practical approaches to network monitoring and visibility that enable early detection, faster troubleshooting, and greater operational resilience. Presentations will explore distributed active monitoring using nmaas - including how RENATER uses the nmaas platform for active monitoring, Internet2’s federated network troubleshooting through independently deployed and controlled Looking Glass instances, and proven approaches to end-to-end visibility, drawing lessons from RedCLARA’s Integrated Monitoring Portal.
National Research and Education Networks increasingly require scalable and secure mechanisms to deploy monitoring services across distributed infrastructures. This presentation introduces the nmaas Active Monitoring use-case, which enables application deployment on remote compute clusters using the nmaas multi-tenant PaaS. The solution has been validated in practice by RENATER through a...
Since TNC25, we transformed HAWAT from experimental to production-ready on Internet2's network, with open-source containers available. The breakthrough is federated troubleshooting across organizations: our Looking Glass service lets organisations independently deploy and control what commands they expose, and HAWAT queries multiple instances to diagnose cross-network issues, isolating packet...
Network visibility has always been one of the most requested network features by RedCLARA users. The idea to be aware of everything moving within and through the network should define the new normal. With this concept in mind, RedCLARA Network Engineering Group (NEG) and Systems Engineering Group (SEG) have built the Integrated Monitoring Portal (IMP). Its goal is to become the best network...
