Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to monitoring network traffic over a network. A monitoring engine may monitor flows of network packets in the network. The monitoring engine may determine an observation port that provided the network packets. The monitoring engine may determine primary network packets provided by an authoritative observation port based on which observation port provided the network packets and provide them to an analysis engine. The monitoring engine may discard a remainder of the network packets that may be associated with non-authoritative observation ports. The analysis engine may analyze the one or more primary network packets.

Claim (Index 15):
A processor readable non-transitory storage media that includes instructions for monitoring network traffic over a network between one or more computers, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors on one or more network monitoring computers (NMCs) performs actions, comprising:\n employing a plurality of observation ports to monitor one or more flows of network packets based on one or more of a characteristic of an observation port or a characteristic of a network packet monitored by the observation port;\n employing the plurality of observation points to determine one or more authoritative observation points, wherein one or more of the monitored network packets associated with the one or more authoritative observation points is identified as one or more primary network packets; and \n providing information for the one or more flows based on the one or more primary network packets.
