Query-aware partitioning for monitoring massive network data streams

Data Stream Management Systems (DSMS) are gaining acceptance for applications that need to process very large volumes of data in real time. The load generated by such applications frequently exceeds by far the computation capabilities of a single centralized server. In particular, a single-server instance of our DSMS, Gigascope, cannot keep up with the processing demands of the new OC-786 networks, which can generate more than 100 million packets per second. In this paper, we explore a mechanism for the distributed processing of very high speed data streams.
