“…The previous work conducted on this, as seen in [ 15 ], followed a sequential approach, meaning that our tool first had to capture all the desired network packets and store them locally, on a disk, before another component of the system could start the ingestion process by reading the stored files and then forwarding the data to Apache Kafka. As a result, the overall performance was greatly impacted by this packet storage overhead, that varies mostly in a linear fashion to the number of processed packets.…”

“…This translation is performed using the rapidjson library, a “fast JSON parser/generator for C++ with both SAX/DOM style API” [ 15 ]. The main reason behind choosing it is that it is “small but complete”, fast, self-contained, and memory friendly.…”

“…[ 12 ] describes how a Kafka connect agent publishes network flows onto a streaming-flows topic. In our previous papers [ 14 , 15 ], we had a similar sequential approach by separating the capture process from the ingestion into Kafka topics. The paper is an extended version of reference [ 16 ] that was presented at the International Symposium on Electronics and Telecommunications and proposes a multi-threaded architecture where the packet capture and the ingestion processes run in parallel, offering a much better performance and paving the way for future improvement of existing applications.…”

Logging network traffic offers valuable insights into data flow, enabling the proactive analysis and troubleshooting of issues as they arise. Moreover, it provides a means to access and examine the exchanged information among network users that would otherwise be inaccessible. To enhance network traffic analysis, the integration of innovative technologies that facilitate real-time querying and pattern matching proves indispensable. This research paper presents a system that exemplifies such advancements—an innovative network traffic logging tool. The tool specifically focuses on performing real-time network packet transfer to Apache Kafka and ksqlDB, leveraging their capabilities to ensure swift and dependable storage of network packets in Apache Kafka topics. By showcasing this solution, the paper demonstrates the benefits and effectiveness of employing modern technologies for network traffic analysis and management.

“…For this reason, Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [18] is needed to support telemedicine applications to transport information in real-time. RTP is an internet-based protocol that provides end-to-end transport service for real-time data such as audio and video stream over multicast or unicast network services [19]. RTP fulfills the need for interactive services (e.g., Internet Telephony) and media on demand (video) in telemedicine.…”

World is now moving in the era of high information and communication technology. Under the term telemedicine and tele-cooperation research series are carried out presently, intended to enable and expand a distributed, group-related cooperative work within the area of medicine. For this purpose, applications are needed, which support real-time control processes, distributed applications, communication and cooperation technology, and the representation of shared information and data. Real-Time Protocols are the basis of telemedical applications. They are needed in almost all fields of telemedicine reaching from communication transmission to reliable data transfer. In a telemedical system, how these real-time protocols are used for communications, collaboration with telemedicine applications is worth to be explored and has been discussed in this research article along with the challenges of real-time applications and their solutions by using real-time protocols.

“…It seems that libtins is more suitable than libpcap to capture WLAN traffic [9] and to generate a larger number of IPv6 packets [10] or MQTT packets in an IoT network for security testing [11]. Based on our own experience, initially communicated in [12], we wanted to have a deeper evaluation of libtins and its performance and to demonstrate its better capabilities in some applications compared to the competing solutions.…”

Capturing traffic and processing its contents is a valuable skill that when put in the right hands makes diagnosing and troubleshooting network issues an approachable task. Apart from aiding in fixing common problems, packet capture can also be used for any application that requires getting a deeper understanding of how things work under the hood. Many tools have been developed in order to allow the user to study the flow of data inside of a network. This paper focuses on documenting the process of creating such tools and showcasing their use in different contexts. This is achieved by leveraging the power of the C++ programming language and of the libtins library in order to create custom extensible sniffing tools, which are then used in VoIP (Voice over IP) and IDS (Intrusion Detection System) applications.
