Abstract
In order to guarantee the security and reliability of today's networks,
network monitoring is becoming an increasingly important part of network
operations. However, ever increasing network data rates makes it more
and more difficult to properly monitor traffic. This is particularly
true if the monitoring performed requires application layer information
and/or has to be performed on an ad hoc basis.
In this talk I will discuss the issues we faced in addressing this
monitoring task. In particular, I will focus on how our Gigascope probe
with its SQL-like realtime query language allows us to provide an
affordable, reliable, flexible and scalable solution to the problem.
Gigascopes deployed today process in excess of 1.2 million records per
second on a inexpensive Pentium system in a real network.
