| Abstract | The flow size distribution is a useful metric for traffic modeling and management. It is well known however that its estimation based on sampled data is problematic. Previous work has shown that flow sampling (FS) offers enormous statistical benefits over packet sampling, however it suffers from high resource requirements and is not currently used in routers. In this paper we present Dual Sampling, which can to a large extent provide flow-sampling-like statistical performance for packet-sampling-like computational cost. Our work is grounded in a Fisher information based approach recently used to evaluate a number of sampling schemes, excluding however FS, for TCP flows. We show how to revise and extend the approach to include FS as well as DS and others, and how to make rigorous and fair comparisons. We show how DS significantly outperforms other packet based methods, but also prove that DS is inferior to flow sampling. However, since DS is a two-parameter family of methods which includes FS as a special case, DS can be used to approach flow sampling continuously. We then describe a packet sampling based implementation of DS and analyze its key computational costs to show that router implementation is feasible. Our approach offers insights into many issues, including how the notions of 'flow quality' and 'packet gain' can be used to understand the relative performance of methods, and how the problem of optimal sampling can be formulated. Our work is theoretical with some simulation support and a case study on Internet data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
