Abstract:
This disclosure generally relate to a method and system for mapping network information. The present technology relates techniques that enable full-scale, dynamic network mapping of a network system. By collecting network and computing data using built-in sensors, the present technology can provide network information for system monitoring and maintenance. According to some embodiments, the present technology enables generating and displaying of network connections and data processing statistics related to numerous nodes in a network. The present technology provides useful insights and actionable knowledge for network monitoring, security, and maintenance, via intelligently summarizing and effectively displaying the complex network communications and processes of a network.
Abstract:
An example method includes detecting, using sensors, packets throughout a datacenter. The sensors can then send packet logs to various collectors which can then identify and summarize data flows in the datacenter. The collectors can then send flow logs to an analytics module which can identify the status of the datacenter and detect an attack.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for determining whether a node in a network is a server or a client. In some examples, a system can collect, from one or more sensors that monitor at least part of data traffic being transmitted via a pair of nodes in a network, information of the data traffic. The system can analyze attributes of the data traffic such as timing, port magnitude, degree of communication, historical data, etc. Based on analysis results and a predetermined rule associated with the attributes, the system can determine which node of the pair of nodes is a client and which node is a server.

Abstract:
Flow data can be augmented with features or attributes from other domains, such as attributes from a source host and/or destination host of a flow, a process initiating the flow, and/or a process owner or user. A network can be configured to capture network or packet header attributes of a first flow and determine additional attributes of the first flow using a sensor network. The sensor network can include sensors for networking devices (e.g., routers, switches, network appliances), physical servers, hypervisors or container engines, and virtual partitions (e.g., virtual machines or containers). The network can calculate a feature vector including the packet header attributes and additional attributes to represent the first flow. The network can compare the feature vector of the first flow to respective feature vectors of other flows to determine an applicable policy, and enforce that policy for subsequent flows.
Abstract:
Application dependency mapping (ADM) can be automated in a network. The network can determine an optimum number of clusters for the network using the minimum description length principle (MDL). The network can capture network and associated data using a sensor network that provides multiple perspectives and generate a graph therefrom. The nodes of the graph can include sources, destinations, and destination ports identified in the captured data, and the edges of the graph can include observed flows from the sources to the destinations at the destination ports. Each clustering can be evaluated according to an MDL score. The optimum number of clusters for the network may correspond to the number of clusters of the clustering associated with the minimum MDL score.
