   <dc:description>Collecting per-flow aggregates in high-speed links&#xd;
is challenging and usually requires traffic sampling to hand&#xd;
le&#xd;
peak rates and extreme traffic mixes. Static selection of sam&#xd;
pling&#xd;
rates is problematic, since worst-case resource usage is or&#xd;
ders&#xd;
of magnitude higher than the average. To address this issue,&#xd;
adaptive schemes have been proposed in the last few years tha&#xd;
t&#xd;
periodically adjust packet sampling rates to network condi&#xd;
tions.&#xd;
However, such proposals rely on complex algorithms and data&#xd;
structures of costly maintenance. As a consequence, adapti&#xd;
ve&#xd;
sampling is still not widely implemented in routers.&#xd;
We present a novel flow sampling based measurement scheme&#xd;
called Cuckoo Sampling that efficiently collects per-flow ag&#xd;
gre-&#xd;
gates, while smoothly discarding information as it exceeds the&#xd;
available memory. After a measurement epoch, it provides a&#xd;
random sample of the input flows, at a close-to-maximum rate&#xd;
as allowed by the available memory budget.&#xd;
Our proposal relies on a very simple data structure, require&#xd;
s&#xd;
few per-packet operations, has a CPU cost that is independen&#xd;
t&#xd;
of the memory budget and traffic profile, and is suitable for&#xd;
hardware implementation. We back the theoretical analysis of the&#xd;
algorithm with experiments with both synthetic and real net&#xd;
work&#xd;
traffic, and show that our algorithm requires significantly l&#xd;
ess resources than existing adaptive sampling schemes</dc:description>
