Trident: Efficient and practical software network monitoring

Efficient packet monitoring for network management

Network monitoring is a vital part of modern network infrastructure management. Existing techniques either present a restricted view of network behavior and state, or do not efficiently scale to higher network speeds and heavier monitoring workloads. We present a novel architecture for programmable packet-level network monitoring that addresses these shortcomings. Our approach allows users to c...

Mobile software agents for network monitoring and performance management

NetStore: An Efficient Storage Infrastructure for Network Forensics and Monitoring

With the increasing sophistication of attacks, there is a need for network security monitoring systems that store and examine very large amounts of historical network flow data. An efficient storage infrastructure should provide both high insertion rates and fast data access. Traditional row-oriented Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) provide satisfactory query performance for netwo...

An Efficient Wireless Sensor Network for Industrial Monitoring and Control

This paper presents the design of a wireless sensor network particularly designed for remote monitoring and control of industrial parameters. The article describes the network components, protocol and sensor deployment, aimed to accomplish industrial constraint and to assure reliability and low power consumption. A particular case of study is presented. The system consists of a base station, ga...

AWG Network: A Practical Single–Hop Metro WDM Network for Efficient Uni– and Multicasting

Single–hop WDM networks with a central Passive Star Coupler (PSC), as well as single–hop networks with a central Arrayed–Waveguide Grating (AWG) and a single transceiver at each node, have been extensively studied as solutions for the quickly increasing amounts of unicast and multicast traffic in the metropolitan area. The main bottlenecks of these networks are the lack of spatial wavelength re...
