Basic information about the network monitoring process is introduced. Two monitoring methods for data collection from network devices are distinguished. Logs and metrics are described as the elements containing information about the current state of the network. A description of metropolitan networks in Poland, the solutions they apply and the specificity of the network are presented. The monitoring systems are discussed in terms of the scope of collected and processed data. The analysis of the collection and processing of network device data and the impact on its load is presented. For this purpose, the statistical data collected by Juniper MX router concerned the system load are processed. Moreover, the measurement metric used and the obtained results for the selected network device are presented. Finally, the conclusions are discussed in terms of monitoring and warning systems implementation.

P4 is a programming language to develop data processing of networks. These kind of programs are used in network devices - like switches - to describe the way of forwarding the received packets to the proper device. Checking the correctness of these program is not an obvious task, because they can easily hide the run time errors. We are working on a method to detect violation of P4 specific properties for these programs. The method if based on a rule system, which can detect suspicious program parts and indicate the violated property to correct it easily. As a first step, we introduce the main idea, dealing with the access of invalid header and uninitialized fields with presenting it with a case study.

Proper selection of network devices have a crucial impact on the entire process of designing and building a modern communication system. At the moment, performance testing of network devices are often implemented by specialized laboratories or by the network devices vendors. To implement this test, the test traffic need be generated with bandwidth of 100 and more Gb/s. The authors of the article proposed their own test topologies that allows to saturate all switch ports based on the entangled traffic between ports or routing instances. In the introduction, the authors present how this type of tests are currently implemented. In the second Chapter, the components of the test bench are presented. The third Chapter presents the topology used to implement the test in the second layer of ISO/OSI model, and shows the influence of the test traffic on the selected devices elements. In the Chapter four proposes topologies that saturate two tested switches with the traffic based on entangling traffic with use of VRF and OSPF protocols. Such approach, based on open standards allows for self-realization of the tests by the final customer who can check the performance of the protocols or application in the environment of maximum traffic load. Note, that the presented method is used only to generate load on the ports of the device. This could be a good basis to start the appropriate tests of specified services or protocols.

Odpowiedni dobór urządzeń sieciowych ma kluczowy wpływ na cały proces projektowania i budowy współczesnego systemu komunikacyjnego. W chwili obecnej testy wydajnościowe urządzeń sieciowych realizowane są najczęściej przez wyspecjalizowane laboratoria lub przez samych producentów urządzeń sieciowych. Do ich przeprowadzenia wymagane jest wygenerowanie ruchu testowego charakteryzującego się niejednokrotnie przepustowościami na poziomie 100 i więcej Gb/s. Autorzy w artykule zaproponowali własne topologie testowe które pozwalają wysycić wszystkie porty testowanego urządzenia. Bazują one na zapętlaniu ruchu pomiędzy portami lub instancjami rutingu. We wstępie autorzy prezentują jak aktualnie realizowane są tego typu testy urządzeń. W rozdziale drugim zaprezentowane zostały elementy składowe stanowiska badawczego. W rozdziale trzecim zaprezentowana została topologia wykorzystywana do realizacji testów w warstwie drugiej modelu ISO/OSI, oraz pokazano wpływ ruchu testowego na wybrane elementy sprzętowe urządzenia. W rozdziale czwartym zaproponowano topologie wysycania ruchem dwóch urządzeń testowych bazującą na zapętleniu ruchu z wykorzystaniem VRF i protokołu OSPF. Takie podejście, bazujące na otwartych standardach pozwala na samodzielną realizację testów urządzeń przez klienta końcowego, który może sprawdzić działanie interesujących go protokołów w środowisku granicznie wysyconego ruchem urządzenia sieciowego. Należy jednak pamiętać, że przedstawiona metoda służy jedynie do generowania obciążenia na portach urządzenia. Może to być dobra podstawa do zrealizowania właściwych testów określonych usług lub protokołów.

Selection of components in contemporary computer networks is extremely important, not only because of the project budget but also because of the network performance. Therefore, it is necessary to perform tests before deploying devices. In this paper the authors show that the performance of test network devices is dependent on the nature of network traffic including its statistical properties. Also a new hybrid model of the system for testing the network device based on the q-additivity of traffic flows was proposed.
