Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products for extracting port-level information of Web services with flow-based network monitoring. Exemplary embodiments include a method for extracting port-level information of Web services with flow-based network monitoring, the method including identifying a registry machine, coupling the registry machine to a traffic meter and flow monitor dynamically configuring the traffic meter, including exporting a first n bytes of a traffic payload exporting a sub-second traffic flow start and end times, extracting service provider information from traffic flow exports, including analyzing the exported n bytes of the traffic payload to extract port-level information at the flow monitor, extracting a value of an access point element, mapping a logical service provider address to a physical address and inserting the service into a Web Service Provider Registry within the flow meter, thereby populating the Web Service Provider Registry.
