A system and method provide a security agent, consisting of a monitor and a responder, that respond to a detected security event in a data communications network, by producing and transmitting a security alert message to a network security manager. The alert is a security administration action which ...
A workstation manages and controls a plurality of communication networks using different protocols coupled to a common bus. A programmable digital filter connected between the workstation and the networks examines frame information using real time calculation for identifying protocols in the frames. ...
The invention features a system and method to enable real-time establishment and maintenance of a standard of operation for a data communications network. The standard is a data set which includes network activity which is historically categorized by traffic type and by activity. The process begins ...
A system and process are disclosed that allows the collection of events to be organized and ordered so that relationship between events and the events themselves can be identified as a state or series of states which describe and allow control of performance aspects of protocol activity. The archite ...
A system and process are disclosed for configuring an Event Driven Interface and analyzing its output for monitoring and controlling a data communications network. The invention is a combination of a source of control vectors, which sends control vectors to a Programmable Performance Vector Generato ...
An Event Driven Interface (EDI) is disclosed for use as a subsystem of a monitoring and control system for a data communications network. The network communicates a serial stream of binary bits having a characteristic pattern. The system includes a control vector generator for generating a control v ...
A hardwired, dynamically reconfigurable counter array counts occurrences of different traffic events having different rates of occurrences monitored on a high speed data network by an Event Driven Interface (EDI). The array includes a plurality of "N" bit counters, where "N" is a binary multiple. Th ...
A system for monitoring and managing the operations of a multi-technology telecommunications network is disclosed. The system includes programmable probes operatively connected to a network for monitoring data transfer activity on the network and collecting selected data relating to one or more rele ...
The method enables realtime establishment and maintenance of a standard of operation for a data communications network. The process begins by monitoring the network over some period of time to build benchmark data sets. The benchmark data sets contain a standard of operation for the network, which i ...
A dynamic realtime, inband routing mechanism is disclosed for a data communications network, which provides an Event Driven Interface to perform realtime, inband directed routing for load distribution and load balancing of data frames over one of a plurality of destination paths. The Event Driven In ...
