Abstract
A system for network monitoring and network traffic analysis includes a plurality of network devices and a management station. Each of the plurality of network devices is associated with corresponding ones of a plurality of ports. Each of the plurality of network devices is configured to determine network traffic analysis data associated with a characteristic of network data traversing each of the plurality of ports. The management station is configured to determine a ranking of the plurality of ports based on the network traffic analysis data in response to a search request implicating the characteristic, and is configured to display the plurality of ports based on the ranking.
