Earliest Detection  12/28/2005 21:28:54

Latest Detection  12/30/2005  01:32:34

We received number of e-mails from iepm-bw.bnl.gov about alerts for different monitored nodes between the time period 12/28/2005 21:28:54 - 12/30/2005 01:32:34 These events were detected by Path chirp analysis tool using Plateau algorithm.

Observations

At first we tried to find out any route change in the specific time period. We came to know that there were two nodes who experienced a route change but that route change was very small and cannot be associated with any adverse effect.

 

Our second step was to figure out what is the effect on other nodes monitored by iepm-bw.bnl.gov. We observed that majority of monitored sites experienced decrease in performance, some of them increase in performance and very few did not experience any thing.

Now we tried to find out does any network experience bad behavior. for this purpose, we separated all monitored nodes with respect to their trace route similarity and compared the reported performance among the group of similar trace routes. we came up with the result that there is no correlation between the network behavior and the node behavior. Following sheet describes it in detail. Similar color shows the same path up to that hop.
