Abstract
A system for monitoring and visualization of network data includes a plurality of first devices and a second device coupled to the plurality of first devices over a network. Each first device is associated with corresponding ones of a plurality of ports. Each first device is configured to determine network traffic analysis information associated with a characteristic of network data traversing each of the ports, and to push the network traffic analysis information across a network independent of a solicitation from the network. The second device is configured to generate a map of the network including a visual indicator based on the network traffic analysis information, to receive an update of the network traffic analysis information from at least one of the first devices, and to refresh the visual indicator in real time to reflect the update of the network traffic analysis information.
