Large-Scale Infrastructure for Passive Monitoring
Speaker - Evangelos Markatos, FORTH
Accurate network monitoring systems give rise
to a wide variety of new applications including
provision of early warning for the detection of Internet worms
as soon as they start to spread, detection of Distributed-Denial-of-Service attacks even before
they are launched, accurate traffic characterization even for applications
that use dynamically generated ports such as peer-to-peer systems,
and accurate traffic weather service for GRID-enabled applications.
In LOBSTER we design and deploy a advanced European Infrastructure for accurate Internet traffic monitoring.
