Abstract: A system for collecting and aggregating data from network entities for a data consuming application is described. The system includes a data collector layer to receive network flow information from the network entities and to produce records based on the information. The system also includes a flow aggregation layer fed from the data collection layer and coupled to a storage device. The flow aggregation layer receiving records produced by the data collector layer and aggregates received records. The system can also include an equipment interface layer coupled to the data collector layer and a distribution layer to obtain selected information stored in the storage device and to distribute the select information to a requesting, data consuming application.

Abstract: A container includes right and left side walls including right and left panels hingedly mounted to upper edges of the side walls. The panels include projecting tabs directed medially and coextensively aligned with rear edges of the panels. The tabs are received within complementarily configured slots formed within a rear panel hingedly mounted to a rear wall of the container. The invention further includes a unitary insert package containing absorbent litter therewithin and an absorbent pad formed to a bottom surface of the insert wherein the pad emits a deodorant upon moisturizing of the pad. The container is also optionally formed of transparent material whereupon positioning upon a support container, permits directing of ultra-violet light interiorly of the container and of the insert to effect sanitizing of litter utilized within the container for enhanced sanitary utilization of the invention.
