Abstract
This paper presents the design implementation and evaluation of NetMon a hybrid network monitoring system designed for Kubernetes-based 5G packet core deployments specifically evaluated on Ericssons Access and Mobility Management Function AMF clusters NetMon combines eBPF-based passive kernel-level traffic observation with active TCP probing and centralized correlation to detect and localize network degradation within seconds The evaluation results demonstrate that the system detects faults as subtle as 10ms of added latency or 5 packet loss correctly attributes them to the affected infrastructure component and maintains this capability under application loads up to 50 simulated UE load The total resource overhead of 34 millicores CPU and 45 MiB memory per pod suggests that the approach is promising for further validation without impacting the monitored workload The hybrid approach addresses a gap in existing monitoring tools standard health checks cannot detect partial degradation scrape-based systems introduce detection delays measured in tens of seconds and purely passive tools cannot verify idle network paths By combining these complementary techniques and centralizing the analysis the system provides the early detection and fault localization capabilities required for maintaining service quality in cloud-native 5G infrastructure.引用本文复制引用
