Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing traffic visibility in a network. An embodiment operates by a third-party component receiving a copy of a first data packet during a first period of time. The third-party component extracts a first network parameter associated with the first period of time from the copy of the first data packet. The third-party component then predicts a baseline of normalcy for the first network parameter during a second period of time after the first period of time based on data associated with a copy of a second data packet and the first network parameter. Thereafter, the third-party component receives a copy of a third data packet during the second period of time, and extracts a second network parameter from the copy of the third data packet. The third-party component then determines that the second network parameter of the copy of the second data packet is an anomaly based on the baseline of normalcy for the first network parameter.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing traffic visibility in a network. An embodiment operates by a third-party component in communication with a network component—each located at a network's edge—maintaining a rule table including a first rule comprising first identifiers and a first action for deriving a first packet characteristic. The third-party component receives a first packet copy including second identifiers from the network component. Upon the second identifiers matching the first identifiers, the third-party component determines the rule table's second rule includes a second action for deriving a second packet characteristic. Thereafter, the third-party component receives a second packet copy comprising third identifiers from the network component.
