CPC Code(s): H04L43/04
Abstract: techniques are described for storing and processing network data for responding to queries for such network data. operational network data is separated from configuration network data so that they can be processed and stored separately. a sliding window cache is used to continually, temporarily store network data objects having time stamps falling within the time range of the sliding window cache. network data objects stored within the sliding window cache are then moved to computer memory for storage and later retrieval. in response to a query for network data, network data objects can be retrieved from the sliding window cache and also from the computer memory based on time stamps of the network data objects and on the time range of the query.
