  • Patent number: 11968102
    Abstract: A method includes analyzing, via a first capturing agent, packets processed in a first environment associated with a first host to yield first data. The method includes analyzing, via a second capturing agent, packets processed by a second environment associated with a second host to yield second data, collecting the first data and the second data at a collector to yield aggregated data, transmitting the aggregated data to an analysis engine which analyzes the aggregated data to yield an analysis. Based on the analysis, the method includes identifying first packet loss at the first environment and second packet loss at the second environment.

  • Patent number: 11936663
    Abstract: An example method includes detecting, using sensors, packets throughout a datacenter. The sensors can then send packet logs to various collectors which can then identify and summarize data flows in the datacenter. The collectors can then send flow logs to an analytics module which can identify the status of the datacenter and detect an attack.

  • Publication number: 20240080686
    Abstract: Mechanisms for estimating a ratio of indoor-to-outdoor traffic or user equipment distribution. A method is performed by a network node. The method includes obtaining, for a set of user equipment, radio signal measurements. The radio signal measurements have a probability distribution function. The method includes separating the probability distribution function into a set of clusters. Each cluster has its own individual probability distribution function. The method includes estimating the ratio of indoor-to-outdoor traffic or user equipment distribution by predicting, from the individual probability distribution functions of the clusters, which, if any, of the clusters represent indoor user equipment and which, if any, of the clusters represent outdoor user equipment. The method includes performing a network related action in accordance with the ratio of indoor-to-outdoor traffic or user equipment distribution.

  • Publication number: 20240061064
    Abstract: Wireless communication equipment (12, 16) detects a targeted signature over time in a Doppler spread and/or an angular spread associated with a wireless communication device (12). Based on detecting the targeted signature, the wireless communication equipment (12, 16) detects a transition (14) by the wireless communication device (12) between an indoor environment (8) and an outdoor environment (6). In some embodiments, based on detecting the transition (14), the wireless communication equipment (12, 16) adapts one or more communication parameters, adjusts resources allocated to the wireless communication device (12), and/or initiates handover of the wireless communication device (12).

  • Patent number: 11902121
    Abstract: A method includes capturing first data associated with a first packet flow originating from a first host using a first capture agent deployed at the first host to yield first flow data, capturing second data associated with a second packet flow originating from the first host from a second capture agent deployed on a second host to yield second flow data and comparing the first flow data and the second flow data to yield a difference. When the difference is above a threshold value, the method includes determining that the second packet flow was transmitted by a component that bypassed an operating stack of the first host or a packet capture agent at the device to yield a determination, detecting that hidden network traffic exists, and predicting a malware issue with the first host based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11902120
    Abstract: An example method can include choosing a pattern or patterns of network traffic. This pattern can be representative of a certain type of traffic such as an attack. The pattern can be associated with various components of a network and can describe expected behavior of these various components. A system performing this method can then choose a nodes or nodes to generate traffic according to the pattern and send an instruction accordingly. After this synthetic traffic is generated, the system can compare the behavior of the components with the expected behavior. An alert can then be created to notify an administrator or otherwise remedy any problems.

  • Patent number: 11477097
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for hierarchichal sharding of flows from sensors to collectors. A first collector can receive a first portion of a network flow from a first capturing agent and determine that a second portion of the network flow was not received from the first capturing agent. The first collector can then send the first portion of the network flow to a second collector. A third collector can receive the second portion of the network flow from a second capturing agent and determine that the third collector did not receive the first portion of the network flow. The third collector can then send the second portion of the network flow to the second collector. The second collector can then aggregate the first portion and second portion of the network flow to yield the entire portion of the network flow.

  • Patent number: 11368378
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for identifying bogon addresses. A system can obtain an indication of address spaces in a network. The indication can be based on route advertisements transmitted by routers associated with the network. The system can receive a report generated by a capturing agent deployed on a host. The report can identify a flow captured by the capturing agent at the host. The system can identify a network address associated with the flow and, based on the indication of address spaces, the system can determine whether the network address is within the address spaces in the network. When the network address is not within the address spaces in the network, the system can determine that the network address is a bogon address. When the network address is within the address spaces in the network, the system can determine that the network address is not a bogon address.
