20090092057 | Network Monitoring System with Enhanced Performance - A data packet inspection and/or filtering system monitors packet traffic across an interface. In the case of monitoring incoming traffic, the incoming packets are directed to a packet capture process associated with a kernel of an operating system. The packets are then stored in shared memory of the kernel for access by a user space application that inspects the packets without requiring copying of the packets to user space and back to kernel space. | 04-09-2009 |
