Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090296589METHOD AND APPARATUS OF MEASURING TCP NETWORK ROUND TRIP TIME - Network round trip time is measured as an initial value at a start of a network communication flow. If sufficient data is available subsequently during a communication flow, subsequent network round trip time value determinations are made, without TCP stack overhead and time out values being included in the determined value.12-03-2009
20090296592METHOD AND APPARATUS OF MEASURING AND REPORTING DATA GAP FROM WITHIN AN ANALYSIS TOOL - Network data gap is determined and reported to enable a user to validate that all the traffic that was intended to be monitored is being monitored in monitoring and/or troubleshooting tools for observation of network traffic and network installation and maintenance. Span port oversubscription, incomplete span configuration, incorrectly placed network taps and monitoring device packet drop may thereby be detected and reported as data gap.12-03-2009
20090296593METHOD AND APPARATUS OF MEASURING AND REPORTING DATA GAP FROM WITHIN AN ANALYSIS TOOL - Network data gap is determined and reported to enable a user to validate that all the traffic that was intended to be monitored is being monitored in monitoring and/or troubleshooting tools for observation of network traffic and network installation and maintenance. Span port oversubscription, incomplete span configuration, incorrectly placed network taps and monitoring device packet drop may thereby be detected and reported as data gap.12-03-2009
20110103237METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE EFFICIENT INDEXING AND STORAGE OF NETWORK TRAFFIC - A network analyzer reads network packets and extracts characterizing attributes, grouping patents observed in a given amount of time on common attribute values. Grouped attributes are meta data, written to a database, while packets are written to files.05-05-2011
20110103238METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE EFFICIENT CORRELATION OF NETWORK TRAFFIC TO RELATED PACKETS - A network analyzer reads network packets and extracts characterizing attributes, grouping patents observed in a given amount of time on common attribute values. Grouped attributes are meta data, written to a database, while packets are written to files. Meta data is stored in the database including links to the physical packets related to the meta data, and a user interface enables query of the meta data and retrieval of related physical packets.05-05-2011
20110106936TRANSACTION STORAGE DETERMINATION VIA PATTERN MATCHING - A network analyzer, system and method determine whether or not network transaction data derived from network analysis should be stored, based on a configuration. Configuration strings (patterns) are entered via a configuration file, including specifying whether the string should be a prefix, suffix, other location or exist anyplace in the data. Storage enabling/disabling is provided for network transaction data. Configuration strings (patterns) can be specified for request/response summary/detail, and for specified parameters.05-05-2011
20110106937MIXED-MODE ANALYSIS - A network analyzer determines, analyzes, and displays in streaming and non-streaming modes to provide analysis of specific transactions in that make sense within a primarily streaming or asynchronous flow of data, providing useful and accurate measurements.05-05-2011

20100017507METHOD AND APPARATUS OF COMBINING MULTIPLE PACKETS INTO PROTOCOL TRANSACTIONS WITH REQUEST AND RESPONSE DETAIL FOR ENHANCED TROUBLESHOOTING IN A LINE RATE NETWORK MONITORING DEVICE - Multiple packets are combined into protocol transactions with request and response detail for enhanced troubleshooting in a network monitoring device. The analysis may be done at a line rate, in an always on operation mode, providing constant gathering of analysis data and information.01-21-2010
20100128615METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE DISCRIMINATION AND STORAGE OF APPLICATION SPECIFIC NETWORK PROTOCOL DATA FROM GENERIC NETWORK PROTOCOL DATA - Discrimination of application specific network traffic from other from general or unclassified network traffic is provided. Users may specify particular applications or data strings to be monitored.05-27-2010
20100198909METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE CONTINUOUS COLLECTION AND CORRELATION OF APPLICATION TRANSACTIONS ACROSS ALL TIERS OF AN N-TIER APPLICATION - Method and apparatus for continuous collection and correlation of application transactions across multiple tiers of an N-tier application employs an application monitoring appliance that observes application data and stores transactions and statistics. A reporting server aggregates and correlates monitored data from the application monitoring appliance and provides access via a web browser for viewing by a network engineer.08-05-2010
20110022701METHOD AND APPARATUS OF FILTERING STATISTIC, FLOW AND TRANSACTION DATA ON CLIENT/SERVER - Network traffic filtering is provided to enable gathering of data and statistics related to client/server traffic corresponding to valid and desired client to server/server to client traffic.01-27-2011
20110029506METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BOUNDING LARGE QUERY OPERATIONS - Bounding of large queries is provided in a network analysis environment by receiving a user query of a data set of network transactions, submitting a meta data query to the data set to determine whether the query would require an unreasonable amount of time to complete, and notifying the user to re-formulate the query if it would require too much time.02-03-2011
