Network Traffic Analysis System Based on Data Engineering Methodology Using System Entity Structure

Currently network uses, especially the number of Internet users, increase rapidly. Also, high quality of service is required and this requirement results a sudden network traffic increment. As a result, an efficient management system for huge network traffic becomes an important issue. The system entity structure (SES) using data engineering concepts enables network administrators to access traffic data easily and efficiently. The network traffic analysis system, which is studied in this paper, is an effective management system with a high throughput and a low response time designed and implemented based on a model and simulation based data engineering methodology. Extensible markup language (XML) is used for metadata language in this system.

1. Introduction

During past decades, companies and organizations have constantly been developing computer systems. As a result, they keep huge data, but huge data are not general and shared but simple and local. Therefore, policy makers in companies and organizations require the data which should be manipulated through several processes or they never receive the data that they really want to get, in worst case. However, decision makers require fast, accurate, and sufficient data in a rapidly changing social environment.
