Abstract
A method for logging communication includes determining when a target user is active and identifying an access device and private Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the target user when the target user is active. The method further includes causing the access device to provide traffic information associated with the target user to a logging device.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a memory that stores instructions;
- a processor that executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- determining when a target user is active by comparing active session information to a list of users, wherein the active session information is received in response to a device of the target user being authenticated, wherein the active session information comprises an indication as to a quantity of packets transferred during a session associated with the active session information and a volume of data transferred during the session;
- and
- logging, at an access point and after determining when the target user is active, traffic information including a network address translation table entry associated with a private internet protocol address of the target user, wherein the network address translation table entry is included in the traffic information when the network address translation table entry matches a network traffic type associated with the private internet protocol address.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- determining, by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor, when a target user is active by comparing active session information to a list of users, wherein the active session information is received in response to a device of the target user being authenticated, wherein the active session information comprises an indication as to a quantity of packets transferred during a session associated with the active session information and a volume of data transferred during the session;
- and
- logging, at an access point and after determining when the target user is active, traffic information including a network address translation table entry associated with a private internet protocol address of the target user, wherein the network address translation table entry is included in the traffic information when the network address translation table entry matches a network traffic type associated with the private internet protocol address.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which, when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- determining when a target user is active by comparing active session information to a list of users, wherein the active session information is received in response to a device of the target user being authenticated, wherein the active session information comprises an indication as to a quantity of packets transferred during a session associated with the active session information and a volume of data transferred during the session;
- and
- storing, at an access point and after determining when the target user is active, traffic information including a network address translation table entry associated with a private internet protocol address of the target user, wherein the network address translation table entry is included in the traffic information when the network address translation table entry matches a network traffic type associated with the private internet protocol address.
