Cisco Guard Statistical Methods

[encrypto]

Hi,

Does anyone know how the Guard XT performs its statistical analyses? Does it use a time series method and looks for the peaks and valleys?

Thanks......

The Guard performs statistical analysis of the traffic and coordinates between the zone policies, that monitor the zone traffic for anomalies, and the zone filters. In addition, it limits the rate of traffic that it injects on to the zone to prevent traffic overflow.
