A system, method and computer program product are provided. Network traffic information is received from a plurality of controllers. The network traffic information is reported utilizing at least one network-based interface. Further, a map of a network is generated based on the network traffic information. Still yet, intrusion detection services are provided utilizing the network traffic information.

Intrusion detection system and method

A system, method and computer program product are provided for analyzing a network utilizing a zone controller. Initially, network traffic information is received from a plurality of host controllers. Further, the network traffic information is reported upon utilizing a plurality of network-based interfaces. The host controllers are related to a zone for facilitating the reporting.

Enterprise network analyzer zone controller system and method

A system, method and computer program product are provided for reporting on network analysis. Initially, network traffic information is collected utilizing a plurality of agents installed in computers distributed among a plurality of zones. Next, the network traffic information collected from the agents associated with each zone is received at separate controllers. Next, a report on the network traffic information is sent from one of the controllers to a computer coupled thereto via a network.

Enterprise interface for network analysis reporting

A system, method and computer program product are provided for analyzing a network utilizing a host controller/zone controller interface. Initially, network traffic information is collected utilizing a host controller. Then, a predetermined interval setting is tracked, and the system polls for the receipt of a demand over the network. In response to the demand or the cessation of the predetermined interval setting, the network traffic information is transmitted to a zone controller over the network.

Enterprise network analyzer host controller/zone controller interface system and method

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for analyzing a network utilizing an agent/host controller interface. Initially, an agent is sent an interval setting from a host controller. Such agent is adapted to transmit network traffic information based on the interval setting. Such network traffic information is then received from the agent in accordance with the interval setting.

Enterprise network analyzer host controller/agent interface system and method

A system and associated method and computer program product are provided for analyzing a network. Included is a plurality of agents coupled to a plurality of computers interconnected via a network. Each agent is adapted to collect information relating to at least one of the computers. Further provided is a plurality of host controllers coupled to the agents for collecting the information from the agents. Still yet, a plurality of zone controllers is coupled to the host controllers for collecting the information from the host controllers.

Enterprise network analyzer architecture framework

A system, method and computer program product are provided for analyzing a network utilizing an agent. Initially, a signal is sent from a computer to a host controller utilizing a network. Next, a response to the signal is received from the host controller. Information is then collected relating to network traffic involving the computer based on the response. The information is subsequently sent to the host controller on a periodic basis.
