Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>In this work, we will illustrate our attempt to exploit log files that are recorded locally on each node in a distributed system or a wired/wireless network. In order to improve the efficiency of retrieving data, we propose the idea of building a global view of the system with a clustered log‐collecting scheme; this would help the monitoring node gain a whole view of the system by building up and maintaining high‐level log files. We also introduce an efficient, tamper‐evident scheme to detect whether a local flow‐net has been deliberately compromised. We provide both simulation results and implementation of the proposed scheme on Emulab, a network testbed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.</p> </abstract>
