  • Intrusion detection system and network flow director method
    Patent number: 7587762
    Abstract: A system and related methods are disclosed for detecting the occurrence of an intrusion attack. A network device, such a probe, monitors traffic on a first network and converts the traffic to a format that is suitable for transmission on a second network. The converted traffic is forwarded to an intrusion detection system for further processing. Prior to transmission, the converted data may be filtered to remove data that is not useful in detecting an intrusion attack.

  • System and method for analyzing data streams
    Patent number: 7415390
    Abstract: A system and method operates to analyze a data stream, for example, a stream of download times for accessing information through a computer network. The system and method are capable of identifying abnormalities in the data stream compared to previous data in the data stream. More particularly, the system and method is capable of dynamically analyzing a data stream to detect abrupt, severe abnormalities as well subtle changes that occur over time.

  • Managing computer resources
    Patent number: 6836800
    Abstract: Computer resources are managed by a method that includes deriving, from historical measurement information for a computer resource, values for statistical variables, and, based on the values, determining whether a behavioral pattern for the computer resource is represented in the historical measurement information.

  • Real-time network performance monitoring system and related methods
    Publication number: 20040054680
    Abstract: Network performance data is collected, recorded, and normalized. In one embodiment, a set of first performance data collected by an agent in response to network transactions initiated by the agent and a second set of performance data resulting from passively monitoring traffic on the network are received. The first and second sets of performance data are normalized to create a set of constantly formatted network performance data capable of convenient analysis.
