📄️ IDS integration
IDS integration connects Intrusion Detection Systems with network telemetry, traffic analysis, and security-monitoring platforms to correlate security alerts with network activity for investigation, threat detection, and operational visibility.
📄️ Inbound traffic
Inbound traffic is network traffic entering a device, interface, host, service, or network boundary from the perspective of the observation point. It is commonly analyzed for access control, traffic visibility, performance monitoring, and security investigations.
📄️ Inbound vs outbound traffic
Inbound traffic is traffic entering a network, host, interface, or monitored environment, while outbound traffic is traffic leaving it. The distinction depends on the observation point and is important for traffic analysis, security monitoring, and directional visibility.
📄️ Incident investigation
Incident investigation is the process of examining alerts, logs, traffic, and evidence to determine what happened during a security or operations event.
📄️ Incident response
Incident response is the organized approach to detecting, responding to, containing, and recovering from security incidents or cyberattacks, following a structured process to minimize damage and prevent future incidents.
📄️ Indicator of compromise
An indicator of compromise, or IoC, is a sign that a system or network may have been breached. It may include suspicious IPs, domains, hashes, URLs, or unusual behavior.
📄️ Inter VLAN routing
Inter-VLAN routing is the process of forwarding traffic between different VLANs so devices in separate Layer 2 segments can communicate.
📄️ Interface monitoring
Interface monitoring is the process of observing network interfaces for traffic volume, operational status, utilization, errors, drops, and performance trends to maintain network health and operational visibility.
📄️ Interface saturation
Interface saturation is the condition where a network interface operates near or at its effective capacity for sustained periods, causing queue growth, increased latency, packet drops, retransmissions, and degraded application performance.
📄️ Interface tracking
Interface tracking is the process of monitoring network interfaces for operational status, utilization, traffic volume, errors, and performance trends over time to support troubleshooting, congestion analysis, and capacity planning.
📄️ Interface utilization
Interface utilization is the percentage of a network interface’s available bandwidth currently being used over a given time interval. It is a core metric for monitoring link load, congestion risk, traffic growth, and network capacity.
📄️ Internet exchange
An internet exchange, or IX, is a place where networks connect and exchange traffic directly instead of sending it through a third party.
📄️ Intrusion prevention system
An intrusion prevention system (IPS) is a security control that inspects network traffic and blocks or drops traffic matching malicious patterns, exploit signatures, suspicious behavior, or policy violations.
📄️ IP address
An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to a device or network interface on an IP network. It identifies the source and destination of traffic and is fundamental to routing, forwarding, and network analytics.
📄️ IP address translation
IP address translation is the process of changing the source or destination IP address in a packet, often for routing, security, or address-sharing purposes.
📄️ IPAM
IP Address Management (IPAM) is a system used to plan, track, allocate, and manage IP address space across networks, data centers, cloud environments, and service provider infrastructures.
📄️ IPDR
IPDR (Internet Protocol Detail Record) is a standardized framework for collecting and exchanging IP-based service usage data in telecommunications and service-provider networks for subscriber visibility, usage accounting, compliance, and OSS/BSS workflows.
📄️ IPFIX
IPFIX (IP Flow Information Export) is an IETF standard protocol for exporting IP flow information from routers, probes, and other network devices to collectors for traffic analysis, accounting, billing, security monitoring, and network telemetry workflows.
📄️ ISP traffic analytics
ISP traffic analytics provides real-time and historical visibility into traffic flows across Autonomous Systems, prefixes, peering interfaces, gateway infrastructure, and subscriber environments in ISP networks. It helps providers optimize routing, understand peering behavior, manage congestion, reduce transit costs, and analyze large-scale network traffic patterns.
