Abstract
Network traffic flow records received from a network probe are recorded in multiple sets of buckets of different granularity, optimized for the purpose of almost instant analysis and display as well as for longer term report generation. The flow data is pre-processed and stored redundantly in parallel in multiple bucketized data base tables of different time window sizes. Denormalized tables keyed on different combinations of traffic flow attributes are precomputed and stored in parallel tables redundantly to facilitate a near real time display of summarized network traffic data, and a capability to rapidly generate reports for different monitoring periods.
