Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: using an internetworking element, creating and storing a plurality of inter-packet gap buckets each configured to store a count that is associated with one of a plurality of different discrete inter-packet gap value ranges; using the internetworking element, receiving at least a unidirectional flow comprising two or more network packets each received at a different particular arrival time; determining, using the internetworking element, an inter-packet gap value for each of the two or more network packets as a difference between the particular arrival time of one of the two or more network packets and the particular arrival time of a next consecutive network packet among the two or more network packets; updating of one of the inter-packet gap buckets that is associated with a particular different discrete inter-packet gap value range that includes the inter-packet gap value; repeating the receiving, determining and updating for successively received packets of the same flow or different flows.
