MONITORING, MEASURING, ANALYZING COMMUNICATION FLOWS BETWEEN IDENTITIES IN AN IDENTY-ENABLED NETWORK USING IPFIX EXTENSIONS

摘要

A computer-implemented method of monitoring communication flows between identities is provided that comprises: accessing a first data packet that indicates a source identifier, a destination identifier, a first source locator, and a first destination locator; accessing a second data packet that indicates the source identifier, the destination identifier, a second source locator, and a second destination locator, the second destination locator being different from the first destination locator; storing data regarding the first data packet and the second data packet in a single ID flow record based on a determination that the source identifier of the first data packet matches the source identifier of the second data packet and a determination that the destination identifier of the first data packet matches the destination identifier of the second data packet; and based on the single ID flow record, adjusting a resource allocation.
