Abstract

A method for monitoring traffic flow in a network is provided. A network monitoring probe monitors one or more network traffic flow parameters to detect a denial of service attack. In response to detecting the denial of service attack, a first set of data representing the denial of service attack alert is displayed. Filtering criteria are received from a user. The filtering criteria include at least one of the network flow parameters identified as legitimate network traffic. A second set of data is generated and displayed based on the filtering criteria.
