workload characterization (passive monitoring)
uses: research, equipment design, operational (engineering/security/policing), & accounting
router-based implementations, e.g., cflowd, netflow
stand-alone monitors, e.g., CoralReef (OC3, 12, 48)
- persistent real-time full frame collection
- security: dynamic pkt filtering trigger by attack precursors
- Dag 4.1 (OC48 POS) testing planned 6/00
