In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art monitoring architectures proposed for multi-domain networks. We establish the five requirements a multi-domain monitoring architecture must fulfilled. We note that these architectures do not support measurement configuration that enables the providers to perform flexible multi-domain measurements. Therefore, we propose a configurable multi-domain network monitoring architecture in order to give more flexibility in monitoring and solve the heterogeneity and interoperability problems. We also propose two collaboration schemes that can be applied in our configurable monitoring architecture. These collaboration schemes are based on the proactive selection and the reactive selection. We show through extensive simulations that the proactive collaboration scheme provides a more flexible multi-domain monitoring and reduces the delay and the overload of the monitoring establishment.
