INTELLIGENT FEEDBACK LOOP TO ITERATIVELY REDUCE INCOMING NETWORK DATA FOR ANALYSIS
First Claim
1. A machine-readable medium that provides instructions, that when executed by a machine, enables the machine to perform operations comprising:
- determining that a portion of a target data is an extraneous data based on a content filtering algorithm applied in a second stage of a network traffic monitoring system; and
iteratively removing from the target data the extraneous data based on a feedback loop created between the second stage and the first stage of the network traffic monitoring system.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and system related to an intelligent feedback loop to iteratively reduce target packet analysis is disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method of a network traffic monitoring system includes processing a flow data received through an aggregation switch of a network traffic monitoring system in a first stage module of the network traffic monitoring system, filtering the flow data to a target data based on a packet classification in the first stage module, determining that a portion of a target data is an extraneous data based on a content filtering algorithm applied in a data processing system of the network traffic monitoring system, and iteratively removing from the target data the extraneous data based on a feedback loop created between the data processing system and the first stage module of the network traffic monitoring system.

8. A network traffic monitoring system comprising:
-
an aggregation switch to consolidate a flow data; a first stage module to create a target data from the flow data through an iterative exclusion of an extraneous data; and a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory to iteratively remove from the target data the extraneous data, and to form a feedback loop between the data processing system and the first stage module of the network traffic monitoring system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
