Gigascope: High Performance Network Monitoring with an SQL Interface

Summary: Gigascope is a stream-database for high-speed network monitoring with an SQL-like interface. It partitions queries across LFTAs and HFTAs, compiles NIC- and host-resident code, and uses temporal properties to enable push-based, in-NIC execution with minimal copies.
