Robust Network Tomography in the Presence of Failures ICDCS 2014 SrikarTati, Simone Silvestri, Ting He and Thomas La Porta Pennsylvania State University Wu Wenbin
Background on network tomography • e2e measurements • => linear system • => solutions for each link • Without failures • Without costs
Problem formulation • Expected rank of paths R : ER(R) • Probing cost of paths R : PC(R) • Problem statement:
Budget-constraint optimization • NP-hard • Submodularfunction • => greedy algorithm with lower bound • Linear independence constraint • => greedy algorithm finds optimal solution
RoMe algorithm • At least 1-1/(e^0.5) times of the optimal value
Without knowledge of failures • Failure distribution -- unknown • ER(R,θ) instead of ER(R) • Find optimal for
Contribution • Show importance of path selection in the presence of failures • RoMealgorithm • LSR algorithm
