It exploits the property that flows traverse multiple networks and are monitored by several controllers. Through collaboration, the resulting monitoring tasks are coordinated and distributed among participating controllers to capture relevant information about all traversing flows, omitting redundant data collection. Conducted simulations reveal that DistTM operates efficiently: the monitoring traffic is significantly reduced, while the traffic matrix entry staleness is slightly affected. Furthermore, DistTM provides different schemes for a fair load balancing on controllers and switches while taking different influencing aspects into consideration. %@ 978-3-901882-84-5
