Abstract
A method and system for using plug-in analysis modules to analyze network traffic data is disclosed. The network has computing devices coupled to a network traffic appliance that routes data to and from the computing devices. A plug-in network analysis module is installed on a network traffic recommendation engine. The network analysis module is run to obtain selected network traffic data on the network. The selected network traffic data is analyzed via the network analysis module. A recommendation is output based on the selected network traffic data. A policy is adjusted based on the recommendation to improve the efficiency of the network traffic to the computing devices.
