The Architecture of NG-MON: A Passive Network Monitoring System for High-Speed IP Networks

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview This paper presents the design of a next generation network traffic monitoring and analysis system, called NG-MON (Next Generation MONitoring), for high-speed networks such as 10 Gbps and above. Packet capturing and analysis on such high-speed networks is very difficult using traditional approaches. Using distributed, pipelining and parallel processing techniques, the paper has designed a flexible and scalable monitoring and analysis system, which can run on off-the-shelf, cost-effective computers. The monitoring and analysis task in NG-MON is divided into five phases; packet capture, flow generation, flow store, traffic analysis, and presentation. Each phase can be executed on separate computer systems and cooperates with adjacent phases using pipeline processing.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: A sea of bits

What a drop in price and physical size - two parallel drives instead of five. At this at this point I can see the moral philosophers reeling: should we store all this data just because we can, and what will we and others do with all that data, and...
