Network Visibility 
• To properly manage a network, you need to 
see what happens inside it 
• First step to... 
– identify congested links 
– remove unwanted network traffic 
– disconnect bandwidth hogs 
– troubleshoot performance issues 
– plan for future needs
New User Interface
Network Visibility Technologies 
• Hardware-based («Deep Packet 
Inspection») 
– Brute-force approach: inspect all packets 
– High visibility, but very high cost 
• Software-based (NetFlow, SNMP) 
– Use traffic statistics exported by routers 
– Mid visibility & low cost
Network Polygraph - Technology 
• Best of both worlds: high visibility, low cost 
• How? NetFlow + artificial intelligence 
NetFlow on steroids: application identification, SSL 
domain ID, attack & anomaly detection capabilities
History: SMARTxAC to Polygraph 
Commercial 
Internet
1999-2003: Inception 
 Previous monitoring and analysis projects: 
• CASTBA 
• MEHARI 
• MIRA 
 With the colaboración among several universities 
• UPM (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) 
• UC3M (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) 
• UPC (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya) 
 And the participation of: 
• RedIRIS 
• CESCA 
• Telefónica Investigación y Desarrollo 
• Institut Català de Tecnologia 
 Focus: monitoring ATM networks 
 Approach: deep packet inspection with sampling
2003: The Birth of SMARTxAC 
Collaboration: CESCA + CCABA/UPC 
Objective: monitoring Anella Cientifica-RedIRIS connection 
Roles 
• CESCA: requirements, testbed 
• CCABA/UPC: research, development 
Objectives: 
• Low-cost platform 
• Continuously monitor Anella Científica 
• Detect anomalies and irregular usage 
• Multi-tenant: accessible by many institutions 
– each institution can see their own traffic only

2003-2011: Network Scales Up 
More network interfaces monitored at Anella Científica: 
• RedIRIS 
• Commercial internet connection 
• CATNIX 
 Internal traffic not monitored 
Increasing bandwidth usage 
Realization: DPI is not cost effective! 
Last straw: switching to 10Gbps links 
 Distributed core with to main nodes (Campus Nord & 
Telvent) 
Solution: NetFlow
2011: Upgrade to 10Gbps - NetFlow 
2x10Gbps 
NetFlow 
Flow-based analysis
User Interface Redesign
2013: Commercial Stage & Spin-off 
• Research group gathers commercial interest 
• Received public funding for tech transfer 
– SMARTxAC to generalized product 
• From a research product to a commercial one 
– Talaia Networks, S.L.: a spin-off of UPC 
– Network Polygraph: «spin-off of SMARTxAC»

Deployment Models: Cloud

Deployment Models: On-Premises 
Customer’s 
Datacenter
Multi-Tenancy Module 
Customer A 
Customer B 
Customer C
Subscription Models 
Service (SaaS) 
• Monthly or yearly billing 
• Includes support 
• Externally managed 
• Regularly updated 
Perpetual License 
• Payable upfront 
• Support & maintenance 
fee 
• Not accessible by our 
personnel
The SaaS Advantage 
• No upfront costs for end customer 
– Lower barrier of entry (esp. small-mid customers) 
– No need to “commit” to our solution 
– Simply configure routers to send NetFlow to us 
• Managed solution 
– Zero maintenance, zero hardware, zero software 
– Always upgraded to latest version
Main Large-scale Deployments 
• CSUC (Anella Científica network) 
– Connects ≈90 public institutions in Catalonia 
– Offered as value-added service to >80 admins 
• Red.es (RedIRIS network) 
– Handles all Spanish academic network traffic 
– Connects ≈450 public institutions in Spain 
– Won as customer in competitive tender
Use Cases 
• Small-medium companies 
– Bandwidth is a precious resource, Polygraph helps 
optimize its usage 
• “Why is the network so slow? Should we invest in more 
bandwidth?” 
• Found 1 user constantly downloading files from Mega 
• Link was shared with other offices, affecting whole 
company
Use Cases (2) 
• Large companies 
– Moving a single “hardware DPI probe” around 
• Deploying full DPI was too expensive 
• With Polygraph they could cover all branches! 
– Realized most attacks come from China 
• ISP can block certain IP subnets 
• Attacks do not consume customer bandwidth 
– Detected covert bitcoin mining operations 
• Users were pumping the electricity bill for their 
personal gain
Use Cases (3) 
• ISP & Managed Network Service Providers 
– Important customer with an office in North Africa: 
• Bandwidth: precious resource 
• Wanted to check it is spent wisely – no unwanted traffic 
– Receiving large # of copyright violation notices!? 
• Traffic analysis reveals P2P traffic 
• Particularly, upstream traffic: serving illegal content! 
– Use our product to detect network attacks 
• Offer product as value-added service to corporate 
customers 
• Sell anti-virus solutions to their own customers

  • 11. 2003: The Birth of SMARTxAC Collaboration: CESCA + CCABA/UPC Objective: monitoring Anella Cientifica-RedIRIS connection Roles • CESCA: requirements, testbed • CCABA/UPC: research, development Objectives: • Low-cost platform • Continuously monitor Anella Científica • Detect anomalies and irregular usage • Multi-tenant: accessible by many institutions – each institution can see their own traffic only

  • 14. 2003-2011: Network Scales Up More network interfaces monitored at Anella Científica: • RedIRIS • Commercial internet connection • CATNIX  Internal traffic not monitored Increasing bandwidth usage Realization: DPI is not cost effective! Last straw: switching to 10Gbps links  Distributed core with to main nodes (Campus Nord & Telvent) Solution: NetFlow
  • 15. 2011: Upgrade to 10Gbps - NetFlow 2x10Gbps NetFlow Flow-based analysis
  • 17. 2013: Commercial Stage & Spin-off • Research group gathers commercial interest • Received public funding for tech transfer – SMARTxAC to generalized product • From a research product to a commercial one – Talaia Networks, S.L.: a spin-off of UPC – Network Polygraph: «spin-off of SMARTxAC»
  • 19. Deployment Models: Cloud Customer Network Cloud
  • 20. Deployment Models: On-Premises Customer’s Datacenter
  • 21. Multi-Tenancy Module Customer A Customer B Customer C
  • 22. Subscription Models Service (SaaS) • Monthly or yearly billing • Includes support • Externally managed • Regularly updated Perpetual License • Payable upfront • Support & maintenance fee • Not accessible by our personnel
  • 23. The SaaS Advantage • No upfront costs for end customer – Lower barrier of entry (esp. small-mid customers) – No need to “commit” to our solution – Simply configure routers to send NetFlow to us • Managed solution – Zero maintenance, zero hardware, zero software – Always upgraded to latest version
  • 24. Main Large-scale Deployments • CSUC (Anella Científica network) – Connects ≈90 public institutions in Catalonia – Offered as value-added service to >80 admins • Red.es (RedIRIS network) – Handles all Spanish academic network traffic – Connects ≈450 public institutions in Spain – Won as customer in competitive tender
  • 25. Use Cases • Small-medium companies – Bandwidth is a precious resource, Polygraph helps optimize its usage • “Why is the network so slow? Should we invest in more bandwidth?” • Found 1 user constantly downloading files from Mega • Link was shared with other offices, affecting whole company
  • 26. Use Cases (2) • Large companies – Moving a single “hardware DPI probe” around • Deploying full DPI was too expensive • With Polygraph they could cover all branches! – Realized most attacks come from China • ISP can block certain IP subnets • Attacks do not consume customer bandwidth – Detected covert bitcoin mining operations • Users were pumping the electricity bill for their personal gain
  • 27. Use Cases (3) • ISP & Managed Network Service Providers – Important customer with an office in North Africa: • Bandwidth: precious resource • Wanted to check it is spent wisely – no unwanted traffic – Receiving large # of copyright violation notices!? • Traffic analysis reveals P2P traffic • Particularly, upstream traffic: serving illegal content! – Use our product to detect network attacks • Offer product as value-added service to corporate customers • Sell anti-virus solutions to their own customers
