Abrégé

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of conserving storage space in a network recorder includes receiving a computer packet including a header and payload data; estimating entropy of the payload data in the computer packet; determining if storage of the computer packet is of value or not based on the header of the computer packet; and storing all or a portion of the computer packet into a storage device based on the estimated entropy and the value determination.

Abrégé

A high speed intelligent network recorder for recording a plurality of flows of network data packets into and out of a computer network over a relevant data time window is disclosed. The high speed intelligent network recorder includes a printed circuit board; a high speed network switching device mounted to the printed circuit board; and an X column by Y row array of a plurality of intelligent hard drives with micro-computers mounted to the printed circuit board and coupled in parallel with the high speed network switching device. The method may further include operations that include querying and back-testing in order to enable distributed analytics by using low cost, low band width nodes.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a method of monitoring a plurality of transmission lanes in a data transmission system, characterised by the step of extracting individual lane parameters in the data transmission system independently of a transmitted training sequence. The invention also relates to a computer network device configured to monitor a plurality of transmission lanes in a data transmission system, the computer network device configured in use to receive a packet transmitted over the plurality of transmission lanes and to use the data symbols contained in the packet to extract individual lane parameters in the data transmission system independently of a transmitted training sequence.
