Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Silent failure is a problem to maintain reliability for application systems. To detect silent failures, it is effective to measure and analyze communications between the components composing application. However, the communication between components is measured as communication between different components per TCP/UDP sessions, because the client side TCP/UDP port numbers is changed in connecting or disconnecting of session. The existing identification method based on the number of sessions that includes the port number increases misidentification when the communication has thousands to tens of thousands of sessions between the components. This study focuses on “Multi attributed port” which is generated by reuse of same port number again and again, as the cause of the misidentification, and proposes the method that identifies communications between components accurately by removing Multi attributed port by search the server ports in connection structure of the port number between sessions recursively. The evaluation shows the existing method misidentifies over 80% when the number of sessions exceeds 2000, but proposal method has no misidentification regardless the number of sessions.
