MONICA add-ons (1)

• Modular WebAnalyzer built on Java Wicket framework integrating many potential extensions and applicability-specific modules.

• ECAM (Exporter Collector Analyzer Module) for the centralized management and easy deployment of the monitoring tool.

MONICA add-ons (2)

• ACP (Analyzer Collector Protocol) for the direct communication of collector and analyzer.

• Data WareHouse for data preprocessing and storing for efficient access by the analyzer.

• Adaptive export of flow records from the observation point.

• Measurement of OWD with compensation of observation points’ clock skew.

• Usage-based accounting.• Anomaly based IDS.

MONICA add-ons (3)

• Adaptive anomaly driven traffic engineering.

MONICA add-ons (4)

• Monitoring of information systems.

• Extension of IPFIX protocol specification
