The flowchart illustrates a four-step network anomaly detection process:
- Data Collection: Gather various types of network data.
- Protocol Usage: Employ SNMP, SFLOW/NETFLOW, and other methods to extract the data.
- Analysis: Analyze Ethernet and TCP/IP header data for irregularities.
- Control: Implement countermeasures like blocking traffic or controlling specific IP addresses.
The expected benefits of this process include enhanced network security through early detection of anomalies, the ability to prevent potential breaches by blocking suspicious traffic, and improved network management via real-time analysis and control.
