Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, at a global server system, from each of a plurality of local network devices, network data specifying network communication activity at the local network device, wherein the plurality of local network devices collectively provide backbone communications facilities for multiple networks; aggregating, at the global server system, the network data from each of the local network devices; analyzing, at the global server system, the aggregated network data to identify network activities; generating, at the global server system, update data based on the analysis of the aggregated network data, the update data including instructions for the local network devices for processing network communications to or from the local network devices; and transmitting from the global server system the update data to the local network devices.
