Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable storage medium has instructions executed by a processor to receive network session information from network monitoring devices distributed throughout an enterprise network. The network session information characterizes communications between a client device within the enterprise network and a server external to the enterprise network. The network session information is transformed into vectors of network communication session parameters. The vectors are combined into different time series of data. A similarity measure is computed between the different time series of data to detect unique sessions between the client device and a middlebox network device within the enterprise network or unique sessions between a middle box network device within the enterprise network and the server. The unique sessions are evaluated to infer relationships between networked devices within the enterprise network.

Abstract: A system has a monitoring point to collect timing information characterizing transit time over a network for a packet from a first network connected device to a second network connected device. The timing information for packets is aggregated into a time segment. Packet performance measures for the time segment are generated. The packet performance measures are transmitted over the network to a management station.

Abstract: A machine has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to collect from network connected devices key performance indicators characterizing network traffic information. The key performance indicators are aggregated into a time segment for a current weekday. Key performance indicators for the time segment for the current weekday are compared to corresponding key performance indicators for time segments from previous weekdays. The corresponding key performance indicators for time segments from previous weekdays establish a network behavior baseline. An alert is produced when the key performance indicators for the time segments for the current weekday exceed a deviation threshold from the network behavior baseline.

Abstract: A machine has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to evaluate internal packets from a first side of a network address translator with a first internet protocol address and a first port designation. External packets from a second side of a network address translator with a second internet protocol address and a second port designation are evaluated. A session start packet match is identified within the internal packets and the external packets. A session entry with a session start time is created in response to the session start packet match. A session end match is identified within the internal packets and the external packets. A session end time is recorded in response to the session end match.

Abstract: A machine has a processor and a memory connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to observe network packet exchanges between virtualized resources. Key performance indicators characterizing packet information and connection information are generated from the packet exchanges. The key performance indicators are routed to a network connected device.

Abstract: Techniques for supporting multiple potentially overlapping wireless protocols with a single electronic system are disclosed. In the description that follows, the overlapping protocols are Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 for wireless networking; however, other overlapping protocols can be supported in a similar manner. A transaction control policy and a collision map are provided to determine which protocol to enable/disable when a conflict arises. Based on the transaction control policy and the collision map, one or more transceivers that operate according to the wireless protocols can be selectively enabled/disabled to avoid actual conflicts.
