ABSTRACT:
Packets of a certain type from a certain source are directed to a system that estimates the set of destinations and the number of new destinations for which that source has sent packets during a time window Ti. Instead of maintaining tables with the complete destination addresses for each source, the destination addresses are hashed and stored in a small bit array. The sets of destinations for a number of successive time windows are OR'ed for building cumulative tables Ci, where Ciincludes all destinations that have been seen between T0and Ti. The new destinations are determined by counting the destinations set in Tibut not in Ci-1. Any change from the typical patterns can be suspected as being a slow scan.
