  • Methods and apparatus for analyzing and management of application traffic on networks
    Patent number: 7804787
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for analyzing traffic on a network by monitoring packets sent between devices on the network and identifying applications occurring between devices on the network based on information derived from monitoring the packets. Techniques are provided to examine header information of the packets, such as information in the header of Internet Protocol (IP) packets, to identify applications that are occurring on the network. In some cases, information about the packet beyond the header information is examined to match a packet to a particular application. Using these techniques, a list is built of all of the applications occurring between devices on the network. Parameters may be generated to track one or more of the response time, latency and traffic volume associated with a particular device on the network.
