  • Method and apparatus for monitoring file transfers and logical connections in a computer database featuring a file transfer record database
    Patent number: 6240452
    Abstract: A method of monitoring logical connections in a computer network is described. All packets exchanged via the network are intercepted and analyzed. Upon receipt of a packet, a connection management engine determines whether packet is part of an existing logical connection. If it is not, a new record is created and stored in a connection record database. Otherwise, the existing record for the logical connection in the connection record database is updated. Also described is a method of monitoring file transfers in a computer network. File transfers are monitored using an file transfer record database, which allows each packet of the file transfer to be placed in proper context. Upon interception of a packet, an application management engine (AME) first determines whether the packet is part of a file transfer. If it is not, the AME ignores the packet.
