The use of closed solutions from most known
vendors to carry out network-monitoring tasks has turned out
to be a questionable option given their lack of flexibility and
extensibility, which has typically been translated into higher costs.
Consequently, we study whether high-performance monitoring
tasks can be carried out using off-the-shelf systems, the alternative
to these pitfalls from the research community, consisting in the
combination of open-source software and commodity hardware.
We focus on sniffing and storing network traffic as one of the
major tasks in any monitoring architecture. Specifically, we first
review the keys to sniff traffic at multi-gigabit rates, and then
present an experimental evaluation of commodity hard drives.
Finally, the lessons learned from such studies and the performed
experiments have conducted us to the development of an open
solution, namely HPCAP, which sniffs and stores multi-gigabit
traffic using commodity hardware without packet losses in very
demanding scenarios.
