Two-level network monitoring and management in WLAN using software-defined networking: poster

초록

In this work, we propose an SDN-based WLAN monitoring and management framework called RFlow+ and devise a two-level counting mechanism, namely a distributed local counter (on-site and real-time) and a central collector (a summation of local counters). Building on that, we proposed a highly scalable monitoring and management framework to handle immediate actions based on short-term (e.g., 50 ms) monitoring and eventual actions based on long-term (e.g., 1 month) monitoring. The former uses the local view of each access point (AP), and the latter uses the global view of the collector.
