Abstract

It is important to analyze traffic in a computer network. Vermont is an open-source monitoring framework. It is mainly used to create flow data of captured network traffic. This flow data can be analyzed to detect anomalies in the network, like port scanners or other attacks. The architecture of vermont is based on modules. Each module has its own task and mutexes, communicates with other modules. Some of the modules are running in their own thread. So the communication between mdoules is also a communication between threads. This communication has to be synchronized. The current version of Vermont is using and semaphores to synchronize these threads. However, there are lock-free algorithms which are more efficient in this case. This thesis implements several lock-free queue implementations in Vermont and Vermont., performs a thorough performance evaluation. It shows the better performance of the lock-free algorithms compared to current lock-based version of
