Abstract
A method for encoding domain name information into flow records includes receiving a flow record. The flow record includes initial network flow information in a standard flow record format including at least a source address and a destination address. Domain name information associated with each of the source address and destination address is retrieved from a database. The domain name information is encoded into the received flow record while maintaining the initial network flow information to yield an enhanced flow record.
