Centralized analysis and management of network packets

摘要

This description provides tools and techniques for centralized analysis and management of network packets. These tools may provide methods that include storing network packets as identified by packet-detecting devices within networks. These methods may also define baseline behavior patterns applicable to the network, as well as thresholds applicable to deviations in network behavior, relative to the baseline behavior patterns. These methods may also identify attacks against the network, as exhibited by deviations in the behavior patterns that exceed the threshold.
