Network "X-ities" refer to numerous desirable properties of networks, such as scalability, reliability, manageability, etc. Unfortunately, networks today are not designed to easily achieve these potentially conflicting objectives and require careful provisioning and configuration statically. In addition, real-time network monitoring is critical for identifying unexpected anomalies such as failures, attacks, and flash crowds. Besides improving our understanding of network behavior, the goal of network measurement in the context of network operations is to provide real-time decision support. We describe our experience in developing such measurement tools and analysis techniques, particularly in the area of identifying routing triggered traffic anomalies and dealing with DDoS attacks from the perspective of a large ISP network. Furthermore, we discuss limitations of existing measurement techniques and how future networks can be designed for diagnosibility.
