Abstract
A method, system and computer programs for securely and efficiently measuring available bandwidth of network paths of an SDN-based network are proposed. The network comprises an SDN controller and a plurality of programmable network devices. The method comprises including a bandwidth monitoring element on the SDN controller and/or on the plurality of programmable network devices of the SDN-based network; executing, by one of the bandwidth monitoring elements, within a measurement round, a real-time available bandwidth measurement of a network path between any two of the plurality of programmable devices by embedding a security mechanism into the probing packets shared between the two programmable network devices based on a data plane protocol relying on cryptographic methods and measuring the available bandwidth of the network path by considering reception time-based information of the probing packets using a single clock.
