Abstract

Based on an in-depth analysis of existing technologies and systems for monitoring public information and telecommunication networks, the article identifies the main requirements and approaches to building promising new generation network monitoring systems. Given the rapid development of technologies and the increasing load on information networks, there is a need to develop new approaches to building systems that ensure effective monitoring and control of networks. The purpose of this paper is to develop general principles of functioning of such systems, as well as to determine the basic requirements for building reliable and sustainable network monitoring subsystems. In the course of the study, special attention is paid to the need to increase the reliability and continuity of the controlled networks, which is achieved through the introduction of decentralized and distributed architectures of monitoring subsystems.
The novelty of the work is to identify the key architectural principles that ensure the effective operation of monitoring systems in the context of heterogeneity of modern information and telecommunication networks. In particular, it is proposed to use the principles of distributedness and decentralization, which allow avoiding a single point of failure and ensure network resilience to external threats. The article also describes the functionality of the network monitoring subsystem, in particular the role of the monitoring server, which is the central element of this architecture. The structure of the monitoring server is described, as well as its key functions, which include collecting, processing, and analyzing data from different network segments in real time.
The general requirements for the new generation of monitoring systems are also formulated, including high reliability, scalability, and the ability to integrate with other network management and security systems. These requirements take into account the growing amount of data transmitted over networks, as well as the need to respond quickly to threats and anomalies in network traffic. In addition, the paper considers the general principles of organization and operation of monitoring subsystems that should be adapted to the conditions of heterogeneous networks with different technological standards and access levels.
As a result of the study, an approach to the creation of advanced network monitoring systems that provide a high level of stability, flexibility and reliability is proposed. The importance of using new methods of data collection and analysis to improve the efficiency of network management and ensure its security is emphasized.
