Network traffic data measurement

Hi All,

I’m relatively new to Bro and have been tasked with determining various network traffic benchmarks.

For example,

Maximum connections per second
Maximum connections
Maximum throughput (Mbps)
Maximum IMIX throughput
Maximum concurrent TCP sessions
Expected latency when expecting traffic

Is this possible with Bro? If so, can it be done using the default scripts or will it require custom scripting?

Thanks in advance!

You could calculate most or all of this with scripts currently. I don't know of any existing scripts that will do this for you though (and you'll probably want to look into SumStats). You'll have to write them. :slight_smile:

I think we had this book before our first child...

(there isn't a script for that either)

Seth,

We had the same book. :wink:

I assumed I would have to write the scripts… just thought I would verify that.

Thanks.
