Although there are several network traffic analysis tools, such as tcpdump, Ethereal, and other applications, these tools have weaknesses, namely the limited size of files, the use of command line execution, the large memory and huge computational power requirements. In addition to these scalability limitations, both tcpdump and Ethereal have security issues. Files captured by these tools keep all of the packet information, such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, port numbers, and packet sizes. As well as basic network traffic information, the captured files contain secure information: user identification numbers (IDs) and passwords. Therefore, the captured files should not be allowed to be leaked out. However, network analyses need to be performed outside the target networks in some cases. This paper presents an approach to efficiently and quickly analyze a large number of network behaviors. This is achieved by applying System Entity Structure (SES) theory. To speed up evaluation time, a web-based distributed simulation approach over Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) is applied. Discrete Event System Specification\/Service-oriented Architecture (DEVS\/SOA) is used to deploy workloads into multi-servers, increasing overall system performance. A web-based distributed simulation contains two fundamental processes: distributing and analyzing among loosely coupled models through message-passing methods. The distributed simulation \u2014 allocating distributing models inside networks and assigning analyzing models outside networks \u2014 also allows the analysis of network behaviors out of networks while keeping important information secured.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549709354112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,12]],"date-time":"2009-11-12T20:35:33Z","timestamp":1258058133000},"page":"155-180","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Web-based Distributed Network Analyzer using a System Entity Structure over a Service-oriented Architecture"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Taekyu","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Modeling and Simulation Studies, Security Management Institute, Dongheung Bldg 9F, Samsung-Dong 78-1, Gangnam-Gu, Seoul, 135-871, Republic of Korea,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"family":"Chungman Seo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernard P.","family":"Zeigler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arizona Center for Integrative Modeling and Simulation, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Theory of Modeling and Simulation","author":"Zeigler, B.P.","year":"2000","edition":"2"},{"key":"atypb2","volume-title":"Proceedings of the AI and Simulation Conference","author":"Cho, Y.K."},{"key":"atypb3","volume-title":"Multi-Facetted Modeling and Discrete Event Simulation","author":"Zeigler, B.P.","year":"1984"},{"key":"atypb4","unstructured":"Zeigler, B.P. and G.
