    Abstract: Latency-based timeouts are used for concurrent security processing by multiple in-line network security tools. A network system forwards secure network packets to the tools and uses latency-based timeouts with respect to the return of processed packets from the tools. Initially, the network system measures processing latencies for the tools and sets at least one timeout threshold based upon the processing latencies. The network system then receives an input packet from a network source, generates a timestamp, concurrently sends an output packet to the tools based upon the input packet, tracks return packets from the tools, and determines whether a timeout has occurred with respect to the timeout threshold based upon a difference between the timestamp and a current timestamp. If a timeout does not occur, a secure packet is forwarded to a network destination. If a timeout does occur, return packet tracking for the input packet is ended.

    Abstract: Network packet forwarding systems and methods are disclosed to push pre-processing tasks to network tap devices. In certain embodiments, packet flows from multiple monitoring points within a packet network communication system are monitored by a plurality of network tap devices to generate tapped packet flows associated with monitored network traffic flows. The tapped packet flows are transmitted from each network tap device to a tap controller, and the tap controller generates pre-processing rules based upon the tapped packet flows. Control messages including the pre-processing rules are then transmitted from the tap controller to the network tap devices, and the tapped packet flows are pre-processed at the network tap devices using the pre-processing rules to generate pre-processed packet flows. These pre-processed packet flows are then transmitted back to the tap controller where they are further processed and output to one or more destination devices.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to provide on demand packet traffic monitoring for packet communications within virtual packet processing environments. Virtual TAPs (test access ports) within virtualization layers for VM (virtual machine) host hardware systems are controlled by external controllers to configure watch filters for VM platforms operating within the virtualization layer based upon trigger events determined within packet flow data and/or based upon other external trigger events. The virtual TAP controller then periodically receives watch filter packet data updates from the virtual TAP and further controls the virtual TAP to configure more detailed focus filters for the VM platforms based upon watch filter trigger events. The virtual TAP controller can further communicate one or more VM action commands (e.g., stop VM, stop application, etc.) to the virtual TAP for application to the VM platforms based upon trigger events associated with this more detailed focus filter data.
