Estimating the term…
A dynamic network tuner establishes fluid, continuous, and automatic correlation between the extent and/or degree of a networking device's functionality, on the one hand, and the network-related performance (i.e., network data traffic and/or network application performance), on the other. The dynamic network tuner can be embodied as a discrete device ready for installation into a host network. Preferably, such (and like) tuner embodiments are integrated into a network to automatically correlate, according to user-predefined parameters, the network's performance with the operation within the network of specifically-targeted, performance-altering networking devices, such as network security devices, or more preferably and particularly, intrusion prevention devices.
A network comprising two or more nodes communicably linked to enable transmission of data packets therebetween, the network further comprising:
A network comprising:
A dynamic network tuner configured for installation and use in a network, wherein said network comprises two or more nodes, a network-related performance monitor, and a networking device capable of executing a specified protocol or application that substantially effects data packet transmission within said network, and wherein the dynamic network tuner comprises, housed within a common enclosure:
A dynamic network tuner and monitor configured for installation and use in a network, said network comprising two or more nodes and at least one networking device capable of executing a specified protocol or application that substantially effects data packet transmission within said network, the dynamic network tuner and monitor comprising, housed within a common enclosure:
