ABSTRACT:
A method and system is disclosed for creating and tracking network sessions. A request to access a network is received from an entity. The entity is authenticated after the request is received. Authenticated identity information associated with the entity, network address information associated with the entity, and network location information associated with the entity is collected. An information set is created. The information set comprises and binds together the authenticated identity information, the network address information, and the network location information. The information set indicates a present association among the authenticated identity information, the network address information, and the network location information. The information set is stored in a session record in a centralized database. The session record represents a session in which the entity accesses the network. The session record is one of a plurality of session records that are stored in the centralized database. The plurality of session records is used by a data processing system to perform real-time diagnostics of the network.
