From: An optimization-based approach for efficient network monitoring using in-band network telemetry

Symbol

Definition

G=(D, I)

Physical infrastructure G.

D

Set of programmable forwarding devices.

I

Set of device interfaces.

δ(i)

Interface i telemetry demand. The number of telemetry items to be collected from interface i.

F

Set of active flows in G.

ρ(f)

Set of interfaces through which packets from flow f are forwarded.

κ(f)

Flow f telemetry capacity. The maximum number of items packets from flow f may transport.

Φ:IF

An assignment function of device interfaces I to network flows F.

x i,f

Binary variable which indicates whether flow f is assigned to cover interface iI.

y f

Binary variable of the INTO Concentrate optimization model which indicates whether flow f is a telemetry-active flow.
