Hao Li Ren, Xiao Peng Liang, Kong Yang Peng · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
Network traffic monitoring, analysis, and anomaly detection have become a very active research area in the networking community over the past few years. Traffic monitoring and analysis is essential in order to more effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues when they occur, so as to not bring network services to a stand still for extended periods of time. This paper discusses router based monitoring techniques in the WAN traffic monitoring. It gives an overview of the two most widely used router based network monitoring tools available (SNMP, cisco netflow), and provides an example about the netflow technology.
