A passive traffic algorithm for detecting unavailable periods in TCP services

This paper presents a simple passive algorithm to monitor service availability. The algorithm is based on packet counting over a passive traffic trace of a population of clients accessing servers of interest. The major advantage of the algorithm is that it is passive and thus not invasive while usua...
