Abstract

To organize flows records into buckets and optimize their indexed access to/from storage medium, a bucket identifier is associated with each flow record. The bucket identifier is derived from some other characteristic of the network flow, such as a timestamp or source identification associated with the network flow. In this way, contention is decreased as analysis can occur on the aggregated flow records, while new flow records are stored.
