Patent number: 10104105Abstract: A network device may include multiple interfaces, each including a local database to store, in a first group of local records, information associated with a first group of data units sent from or received by a first one of the group of interfaces; a global database to store, in a group of global records, information associated with the first group of data units and information associated with a second group of data units sent from or received by a second one of said group of interfaces. The device may include a processor, to manage the local database and the global database; broadcast at least one of the local records to the second one of the group of interfaces; and analyze each of the local records to identify potential anomalies in the first group of data units.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: XinZhang Ma, David Rowell

Patent number: 9485155Abstract: A device includes a memory, flow table logic, sampling logic, and a processing unit. The memory is configured to store a flow table that stores, as a number of entries, statistics regarding a number of data flows. The flow table logic is configured to generate records corresponding to data flows for which entries are created in the flow table or removed from the flow table. The sampling logic is configured to select one of the data flows for sampling and sample initial data units for the one of the data flows. The processing unit is configured to receive the records generated by the flow table logic, receive the initial data units sampled by the sampling logic, analyze the initial data units to generate analysis results, correlate the records and the analysis results associated with a same one of the data flows, and store the correlated records and analysis results.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Gunes Aybay, Jack Kohn, David Rowell, Fuguang Shi

Patent number: 8761182Abstract: A device may include two or more line interfaces. One of the line interfaces may include a component to buffer a packet that is received at the line interface, perform a lookup of information related to selecting a flow based on a header of the packet, apply a symmetric hash function to addresses in the header to obtain a hash when the information related to selecting the flow indicates the flow is to be selected based on a random method, compare the hash to a particular number using the information related to selecting the flow, the particular number being same for the line interfaces, sample a flow when the hash matches the particular number, create a flow record for the flow, and sample packets based on the flow record.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2011Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jack Kohn, Gunes Aybay, Fuguang Shi, David Rowell
