Abstract: An example method includes a sensor detecting multiple packets of a flow during a specified total time period (e.g., a reporting time period). The total time period can be subdivided into multiple time periods. The sensor can analyze the detected packets to determine an amount of network utilization for each of the time periods. The sensor can then generate a flow summary based on the network utilization and the flow and send the flow summary to an analytics engine. Multiple other sensors can do similarly for their respective packets and flows. The analytics engine can receive the flow summaries from the various sensors and determine a correspondence between flow with high network utilization at a specific time period and a node or nodes. These nodes that experienced multiple flows with high network utilization for a certain period of time can be identified as experiencing a microburst.

Abstract: Managing a network environment to identify spoofed packets is disclosed. A method includes analyzing, via a first capture agent, packets processed by a first environment in a network associated with a first host, and analyzing, via a second capture agent, packets processed by a second environment in the network associated with a second host. The method includes collecting the first data and the second data at a collector and generating a topological map of the network and a history of network activity associated with the first environment and the second environment. The method includes extracting network data from a packet and comparing the extracted network data with stored network data in the database. When the comparison indicates that the extracted network data does not match the stored network data (i.e., the reported source does not match an expected source for the packet), determining that the packet is a spoofed packet.

Abstract: An example method can include choosing a pattern or patterns of network traffic. This pattern can be representative of a certain type of traffic such as an attack. The pattern can be associated with various components of a network and can describe expected behavior of these various components. A system performing this method can then choose a nodes or nodes to generate traffic according to the pattern and send an instruction accordingly. After this synthetic traffic is generated, the system can compare the behavior of the components with the expected behavior. An alert can then be created to notify an administrator or otherwise remedy any problems.

Abstract: An application and network analytics platform can capture comprehensive telemetry from servers and network devices operating within a network. The platform can discover flows running through the network, applications generating the flows, servers hosting the applications, computing resources provisioned and consumed by the applications, and network topology, among other insights. The platform can generate various models relating one set of application and network performance metrics to another. For example, the platform can model application latency as a function of computing resources provisioned to and/or actually used by the application, its host's total resources, and/or the distance of its host relative to other elements of the network. The platform can change the model by moving, removing, or adding elements to predict how the change affects application and network performance. In some situations, the platform can automatically act on predictions to improve application and network performance.

Abstract: A method includes capturing first data associated with a first packet flow originating from a first host using a first capture agent deployed at the first host to yield first flow data, capturing second data associated with a second packet flow originating from the first host from a second capture agent deployed on a second host to yield second flow data and comparing the first flow data and the second flow data to yield a difference. When the difference is above a threshold value, the method includes determining that the second packet flow was transmitted by a component that bypassed an operating stack of the first host or a packet capture agent at the device to yield a determination, detecting that hidden network traffic exists, and predicting a malware issue with the first host based on the determination.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for annotating process and user information for network flows. In some embodiments, a capturing agent, executing on a first device in a network, can monitor a network flow associated with the first device. The first device can be, for example, a virtual machine, a hypervisor, a server, or a network device. Next, the capturing agent can generate a control flow based on the network flow. The control flow may include metadata that describes the network flow. The capturing agent can then determine which process executing on the first device is associated with the network flow and label the control flow with this information. Finally, the capturing agent can transmit the labeled control flow to a second device, such as a collector, in the network.

Abstract: Application dependency mapping can be automated in a network. The network can capture traffic data for flows passing through the network using a sensor network that provides multiple perspectives for the traffic. The network can analyze the traffic data to identify endpoints of the network. The network can also identify particular network configurations from the traffic data, such as a load balancing schema or a subnetting schema. The network can partition the endpoints based on the network configuration(s) and perform similarity measurements of endpoints in each partition to determine clusters of each partition. The clusters can make up nodes of an application dependency map, and relationships between and among the clusters can make up edges of the application dependency map.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure provide methods for avoiding a packet bounce event in a virtual port channel (VPC). A method of the technology can include steps for detecting a link failure event (e.g., between a first network device and a destination node), and receiving a data packet addressed to the destination node. In some implementations, the method can additionally include steps for rewriting encapsulation information of the first data packet. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
