Abstract
:
In simple and monolithic systems such as our current home gateways,
monitoring is often overlooked: the home user can only reboot the gateway
when there is a problem. In next-generation home gateways, more services
will be available (pay-per-view TV, games...) and different actors
will provide them. When one service fails, it will be impossible to reboot
the gateway without disturbing the other services.
We propose a management framework that monitors remote gateways.
The framework tests response times for various
management activities on the gateway, and provides reference
time/performance ratios. The values can be used to establish a management
schedule that balances the rate at which queries can be performed with the
resulting load that the query will induce locally on the gateway. This
allows the manager to tune the ratio between the reactivity of monitoring
and its intrusiveness on performance.
