| 20110125749 | Method and Apparatus for Storing and Indexing High-Speed Network Traffic Data - Storing and indexing of high-speed network traffic data is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of network database maintenance includes sequentially recording in real-time packet header and/or packet content attributes derived from network packets captured and stored in one of a packet capture repository and a file system in database units ordered by arrival of the network packet data. In addition, the method includes indexing each database unit to point to a memory location of the network packet data in one of the packet capture repository and the file system. The method also includes computing a hash value on certain input data and creating index bitmaps on each database unit to facilitate grouping of a similar attributes associated with the network packet data recorded in the database units. The resulting data may then be stored in compressed and/or encrypted formats on a file system for efficiency and security. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110125748 | Method and Apparatus for Real Time Identification and Recording of Artifacts - Methods and a system of method and apparatus for real time identification and recording of artifacts are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of network database maintenance includes designating a network packet data to be stored in one of a packet capture repository and a file system resident database to indicate an artifact type, a protocol type, an application, a user-definable attribute, and a temporal session duration based on a real-time packet inspection. The method includes grouping the designated packet data in a database including packet data having a similar one of the artifact type, the protocol type, the application, the user-definable attribute and the temporal session duration. In addition, the method of network database maintenance includes indexing the database to point to a memory location of the designated packet data grouped in the database in the packet capture repository. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20090219829 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK PACKET CAPTURE DISTRIBUTED STORAGE SYSTEM - This is invention comprises a method and apparatus for Infinite Network Packet Capture System (INPCS). The INPCS is a high performance data capture recorder capable of capturing and archiving all network traffic present on a single network or multiple networks. This device can be attached to Ethernet networks via copper or SX fiber via either a SPAN port ( | 09-03-2009 |
