Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for analyzing traffic on a network by monitoring packets sent between devices on the network and identifying applications occurring between devices on the network based on information derived from monitoring the packets. Techniques are provided to examine header information of the packets, such as information in the header of Internet Protocol (IP) packets, to identify applications that are occurring on the network. In some cases, information about the packet beyond the header information is examined to match a packet to a particular application. Using these techniques, a list is built of all of the applications occurring between devices on the network. Parameters may be generated to track one or more of the response time, latency and traffic volume associated with a particular device on the network.

Abstract: Consolidation of management traffic is performed in a network by employing a gateway network management device (NMD) to route management messages between a controller and NMDs located at sites in the network. Management addresses are assigned to components of a network management system, including the management controller and NMDs. The management addresses are distinct from customer addresses associated with equipment located at the sites. These customer addresses can serve as piggyback addresses for routing encapsulated management messages through the network. Management messages from the management controller contain the management address of the destination NMD and are first sent to the gateway NMD. The gateway NMD looks up the piggyback address corresponding to the destination management address and generates an encapsulated management message containing the management message and the piggyback address. Using the piggyback address, the encapsulated message is then routed through the network to the destination NMD.

Abstract translation: 通过使用网关网络管理设备（NMD）在控制器和位于网络中的位置的NMD之间路由管理消息，在网络中执行管理流量的整合。 管理地址分配给网络管理系统的组件，包括管理控制器和NMD。 管理地址不同于与位于设备的设备相关的客户地址。 这些客户地址可以用作通过网络路由封装的管理消息的搭载地址。 来自管理控制器的管理消息包含目的地NMD的管理地址，并首先发送到网关NMD。 网关NMD查找与目的地管理地址对应的捎带地址，并生成包含管理消息和捎带地址的封装管理消息。 使用捎带地址，然后将封装的消息通过网络路由到目的地NMD。
