A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GENERATING METRICS REPRESENTATIVE OF IP DATA TRAFFIC FROM IP DATA RECORDS

摘要

The present relates to a method and a system for generating metrics representative of IP data traffic from IP data records. The method and system receives, at an analytic system, IP data records representative of IP data traffic on an IP network. The method and system processes, at the analytic system, the IP data records from the perspective of at least one traffic dimension. The processing comprises, for each at least one traffic dimension: extracting information representative of the traffic dimension from the IP data records, and using the extracted information to compute at least one measure representative of the traffic dimension. The processing further comprises computing a metric, consisting of an aggregated value of the at least one measure representative of the traffic dimension against at least one traffic characteristic.
