Method and system for monitoring and analyzing of IP networks elements

摘要

Exemplary embodiments include methods and systems for monitoring, analyzing, and troubleshooting of control plane dynamics of a network including collecting state data from the one or more routers of one or more protocols at discrete time intervals, the state data being associated with one or more routers of a network, analyzing corresponding state data collected at two or more discrete time intervals, and outputting a result of the analysis of the state data collected from the one or more routers of the network.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
collecting first state data of one or more interfaces of a network element at a first predetermined time; collecting second state data of the one or more interfaces of the network element at a second predetermined time; monitoring the one or more interfaces of the network element without manually accessing each interface associated with the network element; analyzing, via an analytical module comprising at least one computer processor, the first state data collected at the first predetermined time and the second state data collected at the second predetermined time, wherein analyzing the first state data collected at the first predetermined time and the second state data collected at the second predetermined time comprises comparing the first state data and the second state data to each other; and outputting a report of a result of the analysis of the first state data and the second state data to one or more user devices, wherein the network element is a router located in a control plane of a network, and wherein the first state data and the second state data are collected to monitor two or more routing protocols selected from the group consisting of internal Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP), Label Distribution Protocol (LDP), Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), without having to convert the two or more protocols separately and/or into a unified form.
