Abstract
A distributed network traffic flow monitoring system is provided. The system includes a plurality of network packet flow collector devices for receiving netflow packets associated with a traffic flow activity data at a network connection. The traffic flow activity data includes one or more transmissions between particular source and destination IP addresses. The system further includes a network packet flow coordinator device connected to the plurality of network packet flow collector devices and configured to aggregate probabilistic information related to the traffic flow activity data from the one or more of network packet flow collector devices and to estimate cardinality of the traffic flow activity data based on the aggregated probabilistic information.
