Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring network devices and identifying packet anomalies are described herein. Anomalies may be identified by receiving packets from a network device at a network monitor, each packet having a first time stamp added by the network device, adding a second time stamp to the packets by the network monitor, comparing the first time stamp and the second time stamp of each packet, and identifying an anomaly associated with a packet in response to a difference metric generated based on the first and second time stamps exceeding a threshold.

Abstract: A method of monitoring data on a first communication line. Data is received from the first communication line (402) and a plurality of packets (406) are extracted (416) from the data. Statistics are then recursively generated (408), the statistics corresponding to the plurality of packets.

Abstract: Configurable network monitoring systems, apparatus, and methods are described. The configurable system includes storage devices, processing modules, and a system chassis housing the processing modules. Each processing module includes a processing unit, a network interface card coupled to the processing unit and configured for receiving data from a communication network, a storage controller coupled to the processing unit and configured to access a corresponding one of the storage devices, and a module chassis housing the processing unit, the network interface card, and the storage controller. The system can be reconfigured by adding/removing processing modules from the system chassis.

Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically provisioning a network are disclosed. A network may be dynamically provisioned by detecting network congestion due to data on the network, identifying a transmission from a source computer to a destination computer for distinct routing based on at least one packet of the transmission, directing at least one other packet of the identified transmission to be marked for distinct routing, and instructing a router to distinctively route the other marked packets in response to the detection of network congestion. A controller and a monitoring device may be used to implement dynamic network provisioning.

Abstract: A method for processing data from a communication line. Data is received from the communication line (802) and segregated into packets (803). Packets are selected based on a respective characteristic (804) and the selected packets are provided to one of a plurality of data processing units.
