Flow Table Sending Method and Related Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18331664 Titled 'Flow Table Sending Method and Related Apparatus'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method performed by a network device. The device generates a flow table consisting of multiple flow records. It then determines if a particular data flow is abnormal. If the flow is indeed abnormal, the network device sends the flow record of the abnormal flow to an analyzer. The purpose of this is to allow the analyzer to analyze the abnormal flow.
Original Abstract Submitted
In accordance with an embodiment, a method includes generating, by a network device, a flow table comprising a plurality of flow records; determining, by the network device, whether a data flow corresponding to the plurality of flow records is an abnormal flow; and sending, by the network device, a flow record of the abnormal flow to an analyzer in response to a determination that the data flow is the abnormal flow, so that the analyzer analyzes the abnormal flow.
