Abstract
One example method includes receiving, at a node of a data confidence fabric, a data stream, prepending, by the node, a data confidence fabric header to the data stream so as to create a prepended data stream, and the data confidence fabric header includes confidence metadata relating to the data stream, and transmitting, by the node, the prepended data stream to another node of the data confidence fabric. The confidence metadata includes metadata about hardware and/or software associated with the data in the data stream.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a node of a data confidence fabric, a data stream;
- altering content of the data stream by prepending, by the node, a data confidence fabric header to a first packet of the data stream so as to create a prepended data stream, wherein the data confidence fabric header comprises confidence metadata relating to the data stream;
- and
- transmitting, by the node, the prepended data stream to another node of the data confidence fabric.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored therein instructions that are executable by one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, at a node of a data confidence fabric, a data stream;
- altering content of the data stream by prepending, by the node, a data confidence fabric header to a first packet of the data stream so as to create a prepended data stream, wherein the data confidence fabric header comprises confidence metadata relating to the data stream;
- and
- transmitting, by the node, the prepended data stream to another node of the data confidence fabric.
