Indeed, the Internet is based on decentralization and diversity. However, its distributed nature leads to operational brittleness and difficulty in identifying the root causes of performance degradation. In such a context, network measurements are a fundamental pillar to shed light and to unveil design and implementation defects. To tackle this fragmentation and visibility problem, we have recently conceived mPlane, a distributed measurement platform which runs, collects and analyses traffic measurements to study the operation and functioning of the Internet. In this paper, we show the potentiality of the mPlane approach to unveil network and service degradation issues in live, operational networks, involving both fixed-line and cellular networks. In particular, we combine active and passive measurements to troubleshoot problems in end-customer Internet access connections, or to automatically detect and diagnose anomalies in Internet-scale services (e.g., YouTube) which impact a large number of end-users.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edion Tego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparison of TCP congestion control algorithms in data transfers on high RTT </style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Traffic Monitoring and Analysis (TMA), Barcellona, 21-24 April 2015</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poster</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedro Casas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edion Tego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maurizio Dusi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A.

Traditionally, either active or passive measurements are considered. While active measurements allow to know exactly the workload injected by the application into the network, the passive measurements can offer a more detailed view of transport and network layer impacts. In this paper, we present a hybrid approach in which active throughput measurements are regularly run while a passive measurement tool monitors the generated packets. This allows us to correlate the application layer measurements obtained by the active tool with the more detailed view offered by the passive monitor.
The proposed methodology has been implemented following the mPlane reference architecture, tools have been installed in the Fastweb network, and we collect measurements for more than three months. We report then a subset of results that show the benefits obtained when correlating active and passive measurements. Among results, we pinpoint cases of congestion, of ADSL misconfiguration, and of modem issues that impair throughput obtained by the users.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arianna Rufini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marco Mellia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edion Tego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multilevel Bandwidth Measurements and Capacity Exploitation in Gigabit Passive Optical Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IET Communications</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiber Networks</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GPON</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Service</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TCP</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=6980492</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p class=&quot;JOCNAbstract&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;We report an experimental investigation on the measurement of the available bandwidth for the users in Gigabit Passive Optical Networks (GPON) and the limitations caused by the Internet protocols, and TCP in particular. We point out that the huge capacity offered by the GPON highlights the enormous differences that can be showed among the available and actually exploitable bandwidth. In fact, while the physical layer capacity can reach value of 100 Mb/s and more, the bandwidth at disposal of the user (i.e. either throughput at transport layer or goodput at application layer) can be much lower when applications and services based on TCP protocol are considered. In the context of Service Level Agreements (SLA) verification, we show how to simultaneously measure throughput and line capacity by offering a method to verify multilayer SLA. We also show how it is possible to better to exploit the physical layer capacity by adopting multiple TCP connections to avoid the bottleneck of a single connection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3357</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arianna Rufini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edion Tego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multilevel QoS vs QoE measurements and Verification of Service Level Agreements</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Conference on Networks and Communications, EUCNC 2014</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">06/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Experimental investigation on QoS measurements in terms of throughput versus access capacity, including a correlation in terms of QoE evaluated for some web TV&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edion Tego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vincenzo Attanasio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donato Del Buono</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Service Management based on Software Defined Networking Approach in wide GbE Networks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Euromed</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GbE</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PON</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">QoS</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SDN</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This work experimentally demonstrates how to control and manage user Quality of Service (QoS) by acting on the switching on-off of the optical Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interfaces in a wide area network test bed including routers and GPON accesses.

While most measurement platforms in existence target a very specific measurement use case (e.g., the discovery of the Internet's router-level topology, the continuous measurement of the RTT among host pairs, the exporting via SNMP of network state, etc.), there are platforms that have a large deployed base, with lot of data being at disposal, and/or continuously
collecting data. It would be a waste of resources to merely reproduce this effort within mPlane. Instead, mPlane aims at directly interfacing with existing systems and re-using their capabilities and data to feed measurement results to the mPlane intelligence. This document lists selected existing systems that are important for mPlane either for theoretical, conceptual or practical reasons, and that are part of the background of mPlane partners. A sub-set of these systems will be eventually incorporated into mPlane by developing the necessary interfaces. Others could be integrated by the means of proxy probes,
i.e., the conceptual component responsible for such interfacing. The main focus of this document is to elaborate the concept of proxy probes, enumerate the systems that will be possibly considered for interface (proxy probe) development, and to
give high level descriptions of the proxy probe design for these systems. The following list enumerates the systems that the consortium has chosen to include:
- QoF - a TCP-aware IPFIX flow meter  Cisco Ping and SLA Agents - commercial availability and basic network parameter agents  
- Tracebox - a tool for middlebox detection and identification
- Scamper - a sophisticated active probing tool
- MERLIN - a router-level topology discovery tool
- TopHat - a configurable measurement system on top of PlanetLab
- Tstat - a passive network monitoring tool
- BlockMon - a flexible network monitoring and analysis tool
- MisuraInternet - a QoS measurement system
- Firelog - a Firefox plugin to measure HTTP QoE
- Pytomo - an end-host-based video OoE measurement tool
- DATI - a high performance deep packet inspector
- MobiPerf - a tool for monitoring smartphone performance</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Deliverable</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brian Trammell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stephan Neuhaus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ernst Biersack</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonio Barbuzzi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saverio Niccolini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mohamed Ahmed</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maurizio Dusi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tivadar Szemethy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balazs Szabo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P.
