In the era of Big Data, more data can be potentially found in transit at any given moment than in storage. In this paper we discuss the feasibility of applying certain forms of processing on the wire, i.e., while data is in flight through the network. In a similar manner to cybersecurity processes and exploiting software defined networking concepts, we seek to design a framework for Analysis on the Wire that can on demand perform computations on data streaming through the network at specific network nodes. We further discuss use cases and perform preliminary evaluation of the proposed framework.
