Abstract

The paper is devoted to the issues of modernization of individual service solutions of the National Research Computer Network of Russia (NIKS) aimed at the tasks of effective continuous monitoring and management of the network and the services provided on its basis. The key areas and general principles of monitoring global digital infrastructures are presented and discussed, taking into account the pronounced features of national research and education networks. The main functions and software tools used for monitoring industry telecommunications networks in the field of science and education are listed, with an emphasis on freely distributed open source products. The architectural features and specific examples of original software solutions adapted for monitoring and advanced analytics of network traffic data and put into operation in the process of a step-by-step modernization of the NIKS monitoring and control system are considered.
