Abstract
A method for monitoring communication on a network that includes configuring a classifier using a monitoring profile, receiving a plurality of packets from a network, analyzing each of the plurality of packets by the classifier to determine to which of the plurality of packets satisfies the monitoring profile, forwarding any of the plurality of packets that satisfy the monitoring profile to a first temporary data structure, forwarding any of the plurality of packets that do not satisfy the monitoring profile to a second temporary data structure, requesting a first number of packets from the first temporary data structure by a first virtual serialization queue, wherein the first virtual serialization queue is associated with the first temporary data structure, forwarding the first number of packets to the first virtual serialization queue, and analyzing packets in the first virtual serialization queue by a monitoring program.
