Network status display device and method using traffic flow-radar

Abstract

A network status display device using a traffic flow-radar is provided. The network status display device includes: a traffic feature extractor calculating flow occupancy rates for total flows, micro-flows and macro-flows with respect to each of a plurality of traffic features with reference to traffic information for each traffic feature such as a network address, a port, a transmitting/receiving host address or a protocol collected by an external traffic information collector, and storing the calculation result; a traffic status display unit displaying the flow occupancy rates for each traffic feature calculated and stored in the traffic feature extractor on a radar with dots for each traffic feature; and a traffic anomaly determination unit determining whether a network status is abnormal with reference to the radar for each traffic feature, detecting and reporting the type of the abnormal network status and harmful or abnormal traffic that generates the abnormal network status, when the abnormal status occurs.
