Abstract

A traffic monitoring device ( 20 ) acquires IF statistical data that is statistical information for each IF acquired from a network device and flow statistical data that is statistical information calculated from a sampled packet, from an external storage device that accumulates the IF statistical data and the flow statistical data, and calculates a grand total amount of traffic for each individual flow on the basis of a grand total amount of traffic for each IF calculated from the IF statistical data and a total traffic amount for each flow calculated from the flow statistical data.

Claims (15)

1 . A traffic monitoring device comprising:

an acquisition unit that acquires interface statistical data that is statistical information for each interface acquired from a network device and flow statistical data that is statistical information calculated from a sampled packet, from an external storage device that accumulates the interface statistical data and the flow statistical data; and

a first calculation unit that calculates a grand total amount of traffic for each individual flow on a basis of a grand total amount of traffic for each interface calculated from the interface statistical data and a total traffic amount for each flow calculated from the flow statistical data.

2 . The traffic monitoring device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second calculation unit that calculates the grand total amount of traffic for each flow in a network device in an arbitrary area other than a representative area on a basis of the grand total amount of traffic for each interface and the grand total amount of traffic for each flow in the network device in the representative area and the grand total amount of traffic for each interface in the network device in the arbitrary area.

3 . A traffic monitoring method comprising:

acquiring interface statistical data that is statistical information for each interface acquired from a network device and flow statistical data that is statistical information calculated from a sampled packet, from an external storage device that accumulates the interface statistical data and the flow statistical data; and

calculating a grand total amount of traffic for each individual flow on a basis of a grand total amount of traffic for each interface calculated from the interface statistical data and a total traffic amount for each flow calculated from the flow statistical data.

4 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing computer-executable program instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer to execute a traffic monitoring program comprising:

acquiring interface statistical data that is statistical information for each interface acquired from a network device and flow statistical data that is statistical information calculated from a sampled packet, from an external storage device that accumulates the interface statistical data and the flow statistical data; and

calculating a grand total amount of traffic for each individual flow on a basis of a grand total amount of traffic for each interface calculated from the interface statistical data and a total traffic amount for each flow calculated from the flow statistical data.

5 . The traffic monitoring method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

calculating the grand total amount of traffic for each flow in a network device in an arbitrary area other than a representative area on a basis of the grand total amount of traffic for each interface and the grand total amount of traffic for each flow in a network device in the representative area and the grand total amount of traffic for each interface in the network device in the arbitrary area.

6 . The computer-readable non-transitory recording medium according to claim 4 wherein the traffic monitoring method further comprising:

calculating the grand total amount of traffic for each flow in a network device in an arbitrary area other than a representative area on a basis of the grand total amount of traffic for each interface and the grand total amount of traffic for each flow in a network device in the representative area and the grand total amount of traffic for each interface in the network device in the arbitrary area.
