Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of network communication technology, and in particular to a global traffic collection and auditing system and method based on deep packet inspection. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of networks and the increasing complexity of network applications, monitoring and auditing network traffic has become increasingly important. Traditional traffic collection and auditing methods are typically based on ports, protocols, or simple traffic statistics, and are unable to conduct in-depth analysis and identification of network traffic. Deep packet inspection (DPI) technology, by deeply analyzing the content of network packets, can identify specific traffic application types, user behavior, and other information. Therefore, it has important application value in network traffic monitoring and auditing.

[0003] However, existing DPI technologies are usually limited to traffic collection and analysis in local networks, making it difficult to achieve real-time collection and auditing of global traffic. Global traffic collection and auditing systems have technical difficulties such as high concurrency, large data volumes, and high real-time requirements.

[0004] To this end, we propose a global traffic collection and auditing system and method based on deep packet inspection. Summary of the Invention
