Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for providing data flow information of a communication end node. The communication end node includes: at least one container including one or more applications; an operating-system-container engine for hosting the container; a host operating system (OS) for hosting the operating-system-container engine; and a socket query engine that is hosted by the operating-system-container engine. The socket query engine causes steps to be performed comprising: monitoring one or more open sockets that allow the one or more applications to communicate data through a network; compiling a list of the one or more open sockets; generating information of data flow that passes through the one or more open sockets using a set of socket parameters of the one or more open sockets; and sending the information of data flow to a controller through the network.
A communication end node for providing data flow information and coupled to a network, comprising:
A communication end node coupled to a network for communication, comprising:
A computer-implemented method for providing data flow information of a communication end node coupled to a network, the communication end node having an engine and one or more containers that included one or more applications and that each container of the one or more containers does not require its own guest operating system, the one or more applications are different from the engine and open one or more open sockets for communicating data through the network, the method comprising:
