A Survey on Network Coordinates Systems, Design, and Security

During the last decade, a new class of large-scale globally-distributed network services and applications have emerged. Those systems are flexible in the sense that they can select their communication path among a set of available ones. However, ceaselessly gathering network information such as latency to select a path is infeasible due to the large amount of measurement traffic it would generate. To overcome this issue, Network Coordinates Systems (NCS) have been proposed.

On the Impact of Clustering on Measurement Reduction

Measuring a path performance according to one or several metrics, such as delay or bandwidth, is becoming more and more popular for applications. However, constantly probing the network is not suitable. To make measurements more scalable, the notion of clustering has emerged. In this paper, we demonstrate that clustering can limit the measurement overhead in such a context without loosing too much accuracy. We first explain that measurement reduction can be observed when vantage points collaborate and use clustering to estimate path
performance.

Turbo King: Framework for Large-Scale Internet Delay Measurements

The paper "Turbo King: Framework for Large-Scale Internet Delay Measurements" published by Leonard and Loguinov at INFOCOM'08 shows the inaccuracies of the King delay estimation framework and propose Turbo King to tackle the problem.

The idea of King is to estimate distance between any to nodes by measuring the time required to resolve a DNS query from a DNS server near the source and a DNS server near the destination.
