DETECTING WIRED CLIENT STUCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18148232 titled 'DETECTING WIRED CLIENT STUCK
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes techniques for detecting when a client device connected to a network device is not sending or receiving network packets, indicating a potential issue with the client device.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Network management system (NMS) receives current network statistics of ports connected to client devices.
- NMS identifies candidate client devices with potential issues based on network statistics.
- Anomalous behavior of candidate client devices is detected using current network statistics, historical baseline statistics, and peer statistics.
- NMS outputs notifications of anomalous behavior for further action.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, IT, and network security to monitor and troubleshoot client devices connected to network devices.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the challenge of detecting when client devices are not functioning properly within a network, allowing for timely intervention and maintenance.
Benefits:
- Early detection of client device issues.
- Improved network performance and reliability.
- Enhanced network security through proactive monitoring.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include network monitoring software, network security solutions, and IT infrastructure management tools for businesses of all sizes.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior art related to network device monitoring, anomaly detection in network systems, and network management techniques for further insights into this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about the latest advancements in network monitoring, anomaly detection algorithms, and network management best practices to enhance the application of this technology.
Questions about Network Device Monitoring: 1. How does this technology improve network device maintenance and troubleshooting processes? 2. What are the key factors to consider when implementing this network monitoring solution in a large-scale network environment?
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are described for detecting that a client device physically connected to a network device is “stuck,” that is, the client device is not sending or receiving network packets with the network device. A network management system (NMS) receives current network statistics of ports of network devices with respect to client devices physically connected to the ports. The NMS identifies a candidate client device connected to a particular port of a particular network device for which the current network statistics indicate an issue. The NMS detects anomalous behavior of the candidate client device based on one or more features of the current network statistics, historical baseline statistics associated with the candidate client device, and peer statistics associated with one or more peer client devices of a same device type as the candidate client device. The NMS outputs a notification of the anomalous behavior.
