High-precision active measurement, Europe-wide Obtaining an accurate picture of what is happening inside the Internet can be particularly challenging using end-to-end measurements. Being able to make high-precision delay measurements of probe packets is key to creating much clearer pictures. The European Traffic Observatory Measurement Infrastructure (ETOMIC) is a high-precision measurement infrastructure, distributed throughout Europe, that is able to carry out active measurements between OneLab’s specially-designed ANME boxes that are globally synchronized to a high temporal resolution (~10 nanoseconds).
ETOMIC allows users to infer network topology and discover its specific characteristics, such as delays and available bandwidths. It also provides users with a dynamic, high-resolution, and geographically-distributed picture of global network traffic. This data can then be analyzed using methods including those published in scientific journals by the researchers working on ETOMIC.
The ETOMIC measurement infrastructure has been developed principally by OneLab lead partners ELTE, with UAM providing the expertise for additional advanced monitoring equipment, and is now hosted at over 20 different sites accross Europe. ETOMIC hosts 18 first generation nodes (based on DAG technolgy) and 20 second generation nodes (consisting in the ANME box, APE box, and CoMo passive monitoring software module).
