Abstract
Administrators of today's networks are highly interested
in monitoring traffic for purposes of collecting statistics,
detecting intrusions, and providing forensic evidence.
Unfortunately, network size and complexity can make
this a daunting task. Aside from the problems in ana-
lyzing network traffic for this information--an extremely
difficult task itself--a more fundamental problem exists:
how to route the traffic for network analysis in a robust,
high performance manner that does not impact normal
network traffic.
Current solutions fail to address these problems in a
manner that allows high performance and easy manage-
