At the same time, the network threats tend to be increasingly complex and distributed, implying huge traffic scale to be monitored and increasingly strict mitigation delay requirements. Considering the current trend of the networking and the requirements to counteract to the evolution of cyber-threats, it is expected that also network monitoring will move towards NFV based solutions. In this paper, we present Distributed StreaMon (D-StreaMon) an orchestration framework for distributed monitoring on NFV network architectures. D-StreaMon has been designed to face the above described challenges. It relies on the StreaMon platform, a solution for network monitoring originally designed for traditional middleboxes. Changes that allow Streamon to be deployed on NFV network architectures are described. The paper reports a performance evaluation of the realized NFV based solutions and discusses potential benefits in monitoring tenants' VMs for Service Providers.
