Passively Monitoring Networks at Gigabit Speeds Using Commodity Hardware and Open Source Software
Overview Passive network monitoring is a complex activity that mainly consists in packet capturing and classification. Unfortunately this architecture often cannot be applied to gigabit networks, as the amount of data to capture is too large for the monitoring applications. This paper describes the challenges and lessons learnt by the author while monitoring networks at gigabit speeds and above. Finally, it describes an architecture able to successfully monitor networks at high speeds using commodity hardware and open source software.
