The CoralReef Software Suite as a Tool for System and Network Administrators

摘要: Until now, system administrators have lacked a flexible real-time network traffic flow monitoring package. Such package must provide wide range of services but remain enough for rapid in-house customization. Existing passive data collection tools are typically narrow in scope, designed specific tasks from packet capture (tcpdump [9]) to accounting (NeTraMet [4]). In response, CAIDA has created the CoralReef suite and researchers with consistent interface analysis applications, raw flows report generation. provides convenient set diverse audience. is device drivers, libraries, classes, applications. We briefly outline architecture relevant case studies examples 's use as applied real-world networking situations. will show how powerful, extensible, reporting.
