Abstract
Information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream is received at an edge network device. The traffic stream is received at the edge network device. A preliminary data analysis of the traffic stream is performed at the edge network device in accordance with the rule. A determination is made that further analysis of the traffic stream should be performed from a result of the preliminary analysis. The traffic stream data is sent to another network device for further analysis.
Claims26
A method comprising:
- receiving, at an edge network device, information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream received at the edge network device;
- receiving the traffic stream at the edge network device;
- performing a preliminary data analysis of the traffic stream at the edge network device according to the rule;
- determining that further analysis of the traffic stream should be performed from a result of the preliminary data analysis;
- and
- sending traffic stream data to another network device for the further analysis.
An apparatus comprising:
- a network interface unit to enable communication over a network on behalf of an edge network device;
- and
- a processor coupled to the network interface unit, to:
- receive information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream;
- receive the traffic stream via the network interface unit;
- perform a preliminary data analysis of the traffic stream according to the rule;
- determine that further analysis of the traffic stream should be performed from a result of the preliminary data analysis;
- and
- cause traffic stream data to be sent via the network interface unit to a network device for the further analysis.
One or more computer readable storage media encoded with software comprising computer executable instructions and when the software is executed operable to:
- receive, at an edge network device, information describing a rule to be applied to a traffic stream;
- receive the traffic stream at the edge network device;
- perform a preliminary data analysis of the traffic stream according to the rule;
- determining that further analysis of the traffic stream should be performed from a result of the preliminary data analysis;
- and
- cause traffic stream data to be sent to a network device for the further analysis.
