Integration of AMP & Tracenol By: Qasim Bilal Lone
Introduction Project Detail AMPTracenol (RTT) Packet loss Throughput Route information Multiple routes significant route changes Pathologies
TRACENOL
Need A way to visualize traceroutes taken at regular intervals to several tens of remote hosts Report all the pathologies identified Allow quick visual inspection for: –Multiple routes –Significant route changes –Pathologies –Drill down to more detailed information Histories Topologies Related bandwidth & alerts
Display many routes on single page One row per host, one column per hour Identify unique routes with a number –Be able to inspect the route associated with a route number Use single character to ID a route that has not significantly changed –Character identifies pathology of route (usually period(.) = no change) Route # at start of day, gives idea of route stability Multiple route changes Period (.) means no change
Pathologies Hop does not respond (*) End host does not respond, i.e. 30 hops (|) –End host does not ping (turn red) Stutters (“) Hop change but address in same AS (a) ICMP checksum (orange) ! Annotation e.g. network unreachable, admin blocked Multi-homed host Probe type: UDP or ICMP
Pathologies Stutter Probe type End host not pingable ICMP checksum Hop does not respond No change Multihomed ! Annotation (!X) Change but same AS
Navigation traceroute to CCSVSN04.IN2P3.FR ( ), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets 1 rtr-gsr-test ( ) ms … 13 in2p3-lyon.cssi.renater.fr ( ) ms !X
History Channel
Availability Tested on Linux Mainly in Perl Web server for CGI scripts (topology, archived data)
Current Work Installation of Traceanal in Linux machine Installation and configuration of pre requisites –Perl –Apache Configuration in the perl scripts of traceanal, i.e is setting up of the required variables. Errors due to missing package of utills.
Future Task Find the desired package for installation. Run traceanal as a separate module. Documentation of work already done.
