Publication number: 20170085414Abstract: A system and method for managing a network apparatus of a communication network. The system includes a network management center including a management-on-board manager MoB-M and a management-on-board agent MoB-A executed at the network apparatus. During its execution, the agent MoB-A performs at least part of a management task on the network apparatus. Besides, during its execution the agent MoB-A retrieves at least one instruction from the manager MoB-M, and executes it for completing the management task. This way, the manager MoB-M may dynamically adapt the behavior of the agent MoB-A to unforeseen events or changes occurring in the network, without the need to rewrite the whole agent logic.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2014Publication date: March 23, 2017Applicant: TELECOM ITALIA S.p.A.Inventors: Luca CASTALDELLI, Mauro COCIGLIO, Giuseppe FIOCCOLA

Publication number: 20160105353Abstract: A method for performing a performance measurement of a link between two nodes of a communication network. Before starting a measurement, measurement mode information including start time and packet transmission rate are provided to both nodes. At the start time, a first node generates and transmits to the other node a packet flow including packets with transmission times determined by the start time and packet transmission rate. The packet flow is divided into alternating blocks transmitted during even and odd block periods. At each block period, while the packet flow is received, a variable indicative of its behaviour is updated by using the measurement mode information and detected information on reception of the packet flow. Then, a parameter indicative of a performance of the packet flow during the block period is calculated using the value reached by the variable at the end of the block period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2013Publication date: April 14, 2016Applicant: TELECOM ITALIA S.p.A.Inventor: Mauro COCIGLIO

Patent number: 9264336Abstract: Disclosed is a method for performing a measurement (namely, a data loss measurement and/or a time measurement) on a data flow to be transmitted in a communication network. The method includes: upon transmission of the data flow, during first block periods that alternate in time with second block periods, marking each data unit of the data flow by setting a feature thereof to a first value and updating a first parameter; upon reception of the data flow, checking the feature for each received data unit and updating a second parameter when the feature is equal to the first value; while transmission and reception are performed, processing a timer for determining whether a current block period is one of the second block periods and, in the affirmative, providing current values of the first and second parameters; and performing a measurement using the current values of the first and second parameters.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2010Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Telecom Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Mauro Cociglio, Luca Castaldelli

Publication number: 20140160975Abstract: A method for performing a measurement on data traffic at a node of a communication network. The node includes an input interface and an output interface. The input interface receives first packets and checks whether they are marked. If a first packet is marked, a global input parameter is updated. A partial input parameter is also updated, provided the first packet is addressed to the output interface. The output interface receives second packets, which include at least part of the first packets, and checks whether they are marked. If a second packet is marked, a partial output parameter is updated, provided the second packet is received from the input interface. Further, a global output parameter is updated. The method further performs a measurement on the data traffic based on: global input parameter, partial input parameter, global output parameter, and partial output parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2011Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: TELECOM ITALIA S.p.A.Inventor: Mauro Cociglio

Patent number: 8451734Abstract: A method for measuring data loss of a data flow in a communication network is provided. The method includes, at a transmitting node: marking each data unit of the data flow for dividing the data flow in blocks so that: data units of a same block have a feature with a same value, while data units of contiguous blocks have the feature with different values; increasing a first counter when the feature has the first value, and a second counter when the feature has the second value; and transmitting the data flow to a receiving node. The method includes, at the receiving node, for each data unit: checking the feature, increasing a third counter when the feature has the first value, and increasing a second counter when the feature has the second value. The method includes calculating data loss based on detected values of first, second, third and fourth counters.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Telecom Italia S.p.A.Inventors: Mauro Cociglio, Luca Maria Castaldelli, Domenico Laforgia
