Network traffic flow records received from a network probe are recorded in multiple sets of buckets of different granularity, optimized for the purpose of almost instant analysis and display as well as for longer term report generation. The flow data is pre-processed and stored redundantly in parallel in multiple bucketized data base tables of different time window sizes. Denormalized tables keyed on different combinations of traffic flow attributes are precomputed and stored in parallel tables redundantly to facilitate a near real time display of summarized network traffic data, and a capability to rapidly generate reports for different monitoring periods.

Method and system for processing network traffic flow data

Network traffic flow records received from a network probe are filtered and short traffic flows are selected so that the total number of short traffic flows is high but the number of bytes in the short traffic flows is negligible, followed by discarding of the short traffic flows. Traffic flow data is recorded in multiple sets of buckets of different granularity, optimized for the purpose of almost instant analysis and display as well as for longer term report generation. The traffic flow data is pre-processed and stored redundantly in parallel in multiple bucketized data base tables of different time window sizes. A corresponding method and system are provided.

Method and system for monitoring and analysis of network traffic flows

An alert system for a communications network has a plurality of client devices and a plurality of alert servers each adapted to provide alerts to a respective subset of the client devices to provide scalability. Users at the client devices subscribe to receive alerts by selecting a scope of distribution of alerts. The selection involves selecting a type of alert to receive, a level of severity of alerts to receive, and a geographic scope. In response to receiving a request to issue an alert, an alert server notifies the other alert servers of the alert. Each alert server determines which client devices of the respective subset of client devices are to receive the alert. Each alert server then sends an alert message to its client devices that are to receive the alert.
