Acknowledgements

I completed this research work during the time I had many other responsibilities to shoulder. It
required a lot of energy and strong spirit to stay committed to achieve a number of objectives
simultaneously. I therefore thank God for the energy and strength He gave me to complete the
work under tight schedules and multi-tasking. I thank my advisor Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ina
Schieferdecker from Technical University of Berlin, whom I worked with for a number of years
in the Group she leads in Fraunhofer FOKUS Institute of Open Communication Systems, and we
achieved a lot together in both academic-oriented research as well as applied-research for
industrial solutions in the fields of software engineering, model-driven systems design and
testing methods for complex communication systems and applications as well as networking
research. Her advice was very much appreciated. I also want to thank my second
advisor/reviewer Prof. Dr.-Eng. Symeon Papavassiliou from the National Technical University
of Athens, Greece, whom I worked with in the European Commission funded FP7 EFIPSANS IP
Project, and he exchanged some ideas with me in the area of Autonomic Networking and Self-
Management. The technical discussions with him in the area were very good and inspiring. His
review comments to this dissertation were very much appreciated. I also want to thank my third
advisor/reviewer Prof. Shiduan Cheng from The State Key Lab of Networking & Switching
Technology of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), China, whom I
have worked with in the European Commission funded FP7 EFIPSANS IP Project. Her advice
and discussions we had in the field of Autonomic Networking and Self-Management were very
much appreciated. I co-organized a workshop with her in Beijing at the IPv6 Forum Summit in
2009, where she also organized a very good panel of experts from the academia and the industry,
and we discussed a lot of interesting views on the Self-Managing Future Internet powered by
IPv6 and Extensions to IPv6 towards IPv6++. I also want to thank my former student in Security
Testing in IPv6 Networks & friend Mikhail Peter who got very enthusiastic to join me in the
prototyping of the ODM-Probe presented in this work. I also want to thank people I made friends
with in this field over the years, and discussions with them were good and inspiring. One of
which is Prof. Vassilis Magraris from NTUA, Greece. Other names I always acknowledge for
their support are my mother Tabeth and father Ezekiel (late), my whole family (brothers and
sisters & their families in Zimbabwe, New Zealand, and Australia), Pastor P. Mugadza, Pastor
Kingsley Nimo, Tyson Nkani, and Małgorzata (Gosia) Kowalska— a dear friend who has always
been supportive to me. To other names I might have missed, I appreciate all your support you
gave me.

Abstract:
Traffic monitoring in information and telecommunication networks continues to experience a lot
of research as it increasingly plays a very significant role in implementing emerging and future
networks that self-adapt to changes in their usage context as well as to challenging adverse
conditions experienced by the network elements. Self-managing networks call for research on
the key design and operational principles for traffic monitoring components and platforms that
are suitable for multi-service self-managing networks.
A self-managing network is one whose network elements and network management systems
work co-operatively to perform so-called self-* operations, such as self-configuration, self-
diagnosing, self-repairing, self-optimization, all aimed at eliminating or drastically reducing
human intervention in the complex aspects of manual and error prone, or daunting tasks of
network management. In contrast to today’s non-self-managing networks, self-managing
networks require more computing resources for the c
