Packet network switching system monitoring method for detecting overload by defective or manipulated packets, by checking plausibility of origin addresses if throughput exceeds threshold

摘要

The throughput of the incoming packets in the packet network switching system is checked. If the throughput exceeds a threshold, the network administration is alerted. The network administration performs a plausibility check on the origin addresses of the packets. The administration can allocate new packet addresses to prevent disruption occurring in the units affected by overload. The packet network switching system is preferably a PSTN system.
