Gigascope: A Stream Database for Network Applications

Summary: Gigascope is a stream database for network applications (traffic analysis, IDS, monitoring) with a custom architecture and query language for high-throughput, real-time analytics. Deployed in AT&T's network (OC48 routers), it covers motivation, constraints, performance, and open research problems in stream databases. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
