Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for filtering and processing network traffic data and for providing visual representations of the processed data. A lens may identify or filter source and destination addresses in an address space, or identify and filter other network information of interest. A receptor array can be configured to process selected traffic data parameters such as IP header information. The visual representations can be used in real-time network management and to identify anomalous conditions such as distributed denial of service attacks. Image data can be subsequently processed by graphics processors to enhance or identify features in the images. The lens and receptor array can be used alone or together. The receptor array may be configured as a foveated array having regions of different resolution. A saccade controller may also be included for controlling operation of the lens and the receptor array.
