Toolkit technical background overview

Edit me

The Network toolkit for IBM Streams enables SPL applications to process low-level network traffic.

It includes operators and functions that can:

• ingest raw ethernet packets from live network interfaces and recordings of network traffic
• parse DHCP, DNS, Netflow, and IPFIX messages
• reassemble application-level files from network packets
• map IP addresses into city, state, and country locations
• convert IP addresses betweeen binary and string representations

This version of the toolkit is intended for use with IBM Streams release 4.1 and later.
