A Study On Monitoring Overhead Impact on Wireless Mesh Networks

Résumé

A wireless mesh network is characterized by dynamicity. It needs to be monitored permanently to make sure its properties remain within certain limits in order to provide Quality-of-Service to the end users or to identify possible faults. To establish in every moment what is the appropriate reporting interval of the measured information and the way it is disseminated are important tasks. It has to achieve information quickly enough to solve any issue but excessive as to affect the data traffic. The problem that arises is that the monitoring information needs to travel in the network along with the user traffic and thus, potentially causing congestion. Considering that a wireless mesh network has highly dynamic characteristics there is a need for a good understanding of the influences of disseminating monitoring information in the network along with user traffic. In this paper we provide an evaluation of the network performance while monitoring information is collected from network nodes. We study how different monitoring packet sizes and different reporting frequency of the information can impact the user traffic and compare these values to the case in which only user data travels across the network.
