Title: KEEPING TRACK OF NETWORK FLOWS: AN INEXPENSIVE AND FLEXIBLE SOLUTION
Author: Fedyukin, Alexander V.
Description: Every organization should be able to deploy a lightweight, flexible, and easy to use network monitoring system. Yet no existing system possesses all these qualities. Among the reasons for this is the considerable volume and high granularity of the network traffic data - one border router of a medium-sized network can register a few million network flows per hour. Also, the applications such as intrusion detection have limited tolerance for delays - the system has to deliver results quickly while managing to avoid overloads. This thesis discusses how to overcome these challenges and build an efficient and inexpensive network monitoring system by using innovative approaches to data processing such as stream queries and dynamic query optimization. It covers more basic issues as well: how to acquire data about network traffic and what applications can use it as well as system architecture and performance issues.
