Qun Wang, Xiuyue Dai, Lu Huang · 2011
Acquiring P2P flow information in realtime is very important for network management and security. To obtain P2P flow information accurately in a low-cost way, a novelty P2P flow analysis system called NetFlowP2P is proposed, which integrates systems for flow aggregation, flow identification and flow analysis respectively in a distributed manner. By utilizing the key information of P2P flows provided by P2P identification systems, NetFlowP2P can extract P2P flow statistical information from NetFlow records generated by NetFlow-enabled devices and analyze it by some existing analysis systems. NetFlowP2P provides a feasible solution for analyzing P2P flows based on the Linux-Intel framework. Experimental results of the prototype system have verified feasibility and availability of NetFlowP2P.
