Large-scale Flow Monitoring Through Open Source Software
Abstract
Large and high-speed networks produce a large number of flows that need
to be collected and analyzed. Most collectors are unable to keep up with
the flow export rate, and also have severe speed limitations when
creating reports, due to the amount of data that needs to be analyzed.
This tutorial shows how recent innovation in databases, combined with
existing open-source software applications, allow flow collection and
exploration of large-scale flows to become feasible. Furthermore the use
of web 2.0 technologies enable network administrators to analyze
collected data in real-time and explore it interactively by means of a
web browser
