Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a packet capture ring that provides a single network tap for packet capture and a series of processors (or appliances) for handling serialization and search request processing in a confederated and highly scalable manner. One such appliance (a “primary” appliance) maintains a tap port to the network. Each packet capture appliance has a locally attached repository that stores raw packets and a juxtaposed index that allows for retrieval of those packets. The primary appliance sends a single copy of encapsulated packets in opposite directions around the ring to its descendants. A designation is made across the system as to a “currently designated” appliance for servicing requests for indexing and storage of captured packets. This current designation shifts from appliance to appliance in the system, as a “previously designated” appliance has its storage capacity filled.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 10 , further comprising:\n sending, by the network tap appliance, an encapsulation of the packets in opposite directions around the ring to descendant appliances such that each of the descendant appliances receives two copies of the encapsulation; and performing, by each of the descendant appliances, a de-duplication process to remove a later-arriving of the two copies of the encapsulation.
