Abstract:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for flow stitching network traffic flow segments at a middlebox in a network environment. In some embodiments, flow records of traffic flow segments at a middlebox in a network environment are collected. The flow records can include transaction identifiers assigned to the traffic flow segments. Sources and destinations of the traffic flow segments with respect to the middlebox can be identified using the flow records. Further, the traffic flow segments can be stitched together to form a plurality of stitched traffic flows at the middlebox based on the transaction identifiers and the sources and destinations of the traffic flow segments in the network environment with respect to the middlebox. A configuration of the middlebox operating in the network environment can be identified based on the stitched traffic flows at the middlebox in the network environment.

Claim (Index 15):
A system comprising:\n one or more processors; and at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: collecting flow records of traffic flow segments passing at a middlebox in a network environment, the flow records including transaction identifiers assigned to the traffic flow segments; identifying sources and destinations of the traffic flow segments in the network environment with respect to the middlebox using the flow records; stitching together the traffic flow segments to form a plurality of stitched traffic flows at the middlebox in the network environment based on the sources and destinations of the traffic flow segments in the network environment with respect to the middlebox, wherein the plurality of stitched traffic flows pass through the middlebox ultimately between one or more clients and one or more servers and the plurality of stitched traffic flows are client-server stitched traffic flows that extend between the one or more clients and the one or more servers; and automatically identifying a configuration of the middlebox operating in the network environment based on the stitched traffic flows at the middlebox in the network environment, wherein the configuration of the middlebox including the configuration of the middlebox in facilitating network service access to the one or more clients in the network environment through the one or more servers.
