Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system where a user can request a report for a specific period of time and the system uses projections to build the report. The system can also link together information from different devices so that the information is utilized better. The system does not require a centralized repository for all the devices reporting flow information. Instead, the system can have a distributed architecture, reducing the impact on the network traffic. Overall, the system allows for better utilization of data and reduces the impact on the network.

Problems solved by technology

However, if another device in a path also reported flow information, the projection of the flow may only be made to the first such other device in the path.

An Alternate Embodiment

Use Subsequent Flow Messages Only To Resolve Ambiguities

[0071]As noted above, flow messages may be used to resolve, or partially resolve path ambiguities. If a subsequent flow message matching another flow message as described above is in one of several equal weight paths, it may be used to identify the actual path, or at least narrow down the number of potential paths that a message may have taken. If one of several equal weight paths has one or more reporting interfaces in one or more of the equal weight paths, if such reporting interface does not receive a flow message matching one that is being projected along the nodes or links of different equal weight paths including such reporting interfaces, the paths containing the reporting interfaces may be eliminated as potential paths among multiple equally weighted paths.

[0072]In one embodiment, such function is performed, but the projection of a first flow from a reporting interface in the path of a second flow...

Abstract

A system and method uses path information to project traffic information from flow- or IPFix-type messages onto one or more paths that may have been taken by packets corresponding to such messages. Traffic information from a message is projected from the router interface from which the message was received, along the path or paths the packets corresponding to the message may have taken, but only to the next router interface that provides such messages.
