UDP packet monitoring with stanford data stream manager

The purpose of the paper is to monitor the real-time stream of UDP packets with the Data Stream Management System (DSMS) tool: Stanford STREAM using Continuous Query Language (CQL). The huge amount of data that has to be managed and analyzed together with the fact that many different analysis tasks are performed over a small set of different network trace formats, motivates us to study whether Data Stream Management Systems (DSMSs) might be useful to develop network traffic analysis tools. We will see how STREAM displays excellent robustness in handling high speed UDP streams. The system, however suffers from several setbacks also like tuple redundancy, frequent system crash and smaller query set.
