Exercise

Explore NFS trace data using real network traffic logs to learn how to analyze file system operations, user behavior, and request latencies. Understand how to derive insights about file sizes, access patterns, and client-server interactions through hands-on trace investigation.

We'll cover the following...

In this exercise, you’ll do a little bit of NFS trace analysis using real traces. The source of these traces is Ellard and Seltzer’s effort“New NFS Tracing Tools and Techniques for System Analysis” by Daniel Ellard and Margo Seltzer. LISA ’03, San Diego, California. An intricate, careful analysis of NFS done via passive tracing. By simply monitoring network traffic, the authors show how to derive a vast amount of file system understanding.. Make sure to read the previous lessons for some instructions and download the tarball from the ...
