Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of conserving storage space in a network recorder includes receiving a computer packet including a header and payload data; estimating entropy of the payload data in the computer packet; determining if storage of the computer packet is of value or not based on the header of the computer packet; and storing all or a portion of the computer packet into a storage device based on the estimated entropy and the value determination.
