Monitored network data allows operators to gain valuable insight into the health and status of a network. Whilst such data is useful for real-time analysis, there is often a need to post-process historical network performance data. Storage of the monitored data then becomes a serious issue as network monitoring activities generate significant quantities of data.
The work in this thesis is motivated by the need of measuring the performance of high-speed networks. Such networks produce large amounts of data over a long period of time, making the storage of this information practically...
