Research on the Real Time Traffic Flow Measurement System

Realtime Traffic Flow Measurement (RTFM) system architecture RFC2722 is described based on the concept of flow. The relations among elements RTFM system are also discussed. Based on RTFM, resource policy service component maintaining the consistency of system resource is introduced. The cooperating relations between each element are defined on the measurement object. Consequently, a distributed traffic flow measurement system architecture that adapt to Internet traffic management is given and the implementation of prototype system is discussed.
