SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF CLOUD-BASED SYSTEMS

摘要

System and method for reporting usage of a network infrastructure includes obtaining a map that includes at least one flow-mapping that correlates a flow feature with a service and that correlates a flow feature with an endpoint type, wherein the endpoint types include at least a subscriber type and a service type; at a first computer, receiving flow telemetry of a network infrastructure, the flow telemetry representing at least the destination and source attributes for network traffic in the flow telemetry; categorizing the flow telemetry into at least a subscriber flow category based on the source and destination endpoint types of the traffic; for subscriber flow telemetry of a subscriber, processing the subscriber flow telemetry into at least one flow feature; identifying at least one service to attribute to at least a portion of the subscriber flow telemetry, the service identified through the processed flow feature and a flow-mapping.

1. A method for reporting usage of a network infrastructure comprising:
performing by one or more computers:
obtaining a map of a plurality of flow-mappings that each correlates a flow feature with an endpoint type, wherein the endpoint type is a subscriber or a service, wherein a first flow-mapping includes a content delivery network (CDN) component as a flow feature that correlates to a first service, and a second flow-mapping includes a shared CDN component as a flow feature that correlates to at least the first and a second service;receiving flow telemetry comprising a plurality of destination and source attributes for network traffic of a network infrastructure;categorizing the flow telemetry into one or more subscriber flows using the map;selecting the subscriber flow of a subscriber;attributing at least one of the services to at least a portion of the selected subscriber flow:
identifying the first service to attribute to a first portion of selected subscriber flow; andif a second portion of the subscriber flow is associated with the first portion of subscriber flow telemetry, identifying the first service to attribute to the second portion of the subscriber flow telemetry.
