Popis: International audience; The Low-Latency Low-Loss Scalable throughput (L4S) architecture has recently been proposed to reduce the network latency of low-latency services and to allow their flows to coexist with classic ones in the same domain. This coexistence implies monitoring and security challenges. However current monitoring methods, primarily based-on sampling and polling, exhibit performance and granularity limitations. This paper describes the challenges for monitoring LL services and details our solution when introducing a fine-grained and real-time monitoring capability in our P4-based L4S implementation using In-band Network Telemetry. The initial experimental evaluation shows that our solution is able to monitor the metrics of an L4S switch with very few networking and processing overhead and without disturbing the L4S behaviour.
