Hi all,

Can anyone please help me out with Bro's architecture- based on their  
own knowledge, or documentation or books or references available for  
it.  
I wish to understand the architecture at a high level of abstraction  
and understand the various modules, their dependencies, what part of  
the source code does what, where does the signature engine lie, where  
is the anomaly engine, etc.

Thanks
