International Classification:

G06F 15173

US Classification:

709226, 709244, 37926512, 37926601

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for routing a transaction. Initially, a resource is identified which is capable of servicing a transaction based upon resource data indicative of the capabilities of resources associated with a transactional processing system and a transaction request indicative of a request associated with the transaction. Upon identifying the resource capable of servicing the transaction, the transaction is supplied to the identified resource.

International Classification:

G06F015/173

US Classification:

709/224000

Abstract:

Analyzing data on a network. At a network monitoring computer, network traffic is captured during a period of time. The network traffic is compiled into sections. Information about the sections including, start time, end time, number of frames in the section and bytes/sec are compiled. At a user computer remote from the network monitoring computer, a histogram is stored. The histogram includes for substantially all of the captured network traffic, start time, end time, total frames and total bytes. The histogram also includes for each of the sections, the information about the sections.

International Classification:

G06F011/30

US Classification:

713/200000

Abstract:

Analyzing data on a network. Data captured on a network may be analyzed. Network traffic is captured during a period of time where the network traffic is captured as raw data into logical blocks. Capturing is done at a network monitoring computer. Data points are compiled. The data points include an offset defining a number of bytes into the captured data and datum headers including the number of frames in the logical block, the number of bytes in the logical block, and clock ticks since the initiation of capturing. At a user computer remote from the network monitoring computer, a user is presented with a graphical user interface representation of the network traffic by graphing byte density over time in a capture histogram.

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711/100000

Abstract:

Analyzing data on a network. A method of analyzing data on a network is disclosed. The method includes capturing network traffic on the network during a period of time where the network traffic is captured as raw data into data blocks. The data blocks are streamed to a mass storage. The data blocks are organized into logical blocks on the mass storage. A set of data points are compiled. The data points are useful for defining information about the logical blocks. The data points include an offset defining a number of bytes into the captured data and datum headers including the number of frames into a logical block, number of bytes contained in the logical block and clock ticks since the initiation of capturing.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

A system, method, and apparatus for intercepting data streams such as packets on a network. In one embodiment, the method includes: receiving at a network surveillance system (NSS), a target to be intercepted on the network; creating a target identification (target ID) for the target, wherein the target ID is unique to the NSS in order to track data streams of the target during subsequent processing, such as extraction of content and metadata, in the NSS; intercepting the data streams of the target on the network; tagging the data streams of the target that are intercepted from the network with a respective target ID; transmitting the data streams of the target to the NSS for subsequent analysis; and distributing the data streams across a scalable quantity of data processing engines in the NSS.

International Classification:

G06F 11/00
G06F 3/00

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

A system, method, and apparatus for collecting data streams, such as data packets, on a network, such as the Internet, are disclosed. A metadata portion of at least one of the data streams is analyzed on the network and evaluated using a metadata processing engine to identify a relationship between at least two of the plurality of data streams, e.g., a relationship between multiple users of a network, regardless of whether the users are currently of interest or if they are not of interest. An interface manager can receive an information of a new user of interest, evaluate the new user of interest for redundancy against existing known users of interest of the NMS; then communicate the information of the new user of interest to at least one access device to collect data streams associated with the new user of interest.

A metadata portion of at least one of the data streams is analyzed on the network and evaluated using a metadata processing engine to identify a relationship between at least two of the plurality of data streams, e.g., a relationship between multiple users of interest, a new user of interest, etc. Evaluation of the metadata and the relationships can be performed algorithmically, as predetermined by an analyst or as provided as preset options by the network monitoring system (NMS). An interface manager can receive the new user of interest, evaluate the new user of interest for redundancy against existing users of interest of the NMS; then communicate the new user of interest to at least one access device to collect data streams associated with the new user of interest.

Abstract:

A system, method, and apparatus for collecting data streams, such as data packets, on a network, such as the Internet, are disclosed. Evaluation of the metadata and the relationships can be performed algorithmically, as predetermined by an analyst or as provided as preset options by the network monitoring system (NMS). The collected data associated with the users of the network may be accessed by multiple analysts belonging to different groups having a NMS of their own. The system may allow access to multiple analysts belonging to separate groups by parsing through a single instance of the stored data. Multiple analysts belonging to different groups may allow to access to a single instance of the stored data.
