Enabling fast hierarchical heavy hitter detection using programmable data planes

© 2017 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). Measuring and monitoring network traffic is a fundamental aspect in network management. This poster is a first step towards an SDN solution using an event triggered approach to support advanced monitoring dataplane capabilities. Leveraging P4 programmability, we built a solution to inform a remote controller about the detected hierarchical heavy hitters, thus minimizing control plane overheads
