Flow Monitoring in Wireless MESH Networks

We present a dynamic and self-organized flow monitoring framework in Wireless Mesh Networks. An algorithmic mechanism that allows for an autonomic organization of the probes plane is investigated, with the goal of monitoring all the flows in the backbone of the mesh network accurately and robustly, while minimizing the overhead introduced by the monitoring architecture. The architecture of the system is presented, the probe organization protocol is explained and the performance of the monitoring framework is evaluated by simulation.
