  • Method of collecting descriptions of streams pertaining to streams relating to at least one client network attached to an interconnection network
    Patent number: 7908369
    Abstract: A method for collection of flow descriptions for flows relating to at least one client network, the client network being attached to an interconnection network. The method receives flow descriptions for flows coming from the client network, aggregates the flow descriptions for the flows coming from the client network as a function of an aggregation criterion, transmits the aggregated flow descriptions to a collection device, analyzes the flow descriptions for the flows coming from the client network to determine at least one flow characteristic specific to the client network, receives flow descriptions for flows coming from the interconnection network, filters the flow descriptions for the flows coming from the interconnection network, in which the flow descriptions for flows lacking the at least one determined flow characteristic specific to the client network are eliminated, and transmits the filtered flow descriptions to the collection equipment.
