We just looked at uniflow and bitflow. Let's discuss the FRP deployment and architectures followed for smooth network analysis. Generally, the FRP components are connected to a network in the setup shown in the following diagram:
The preceding diagram highlights the sensor deployment in a network where the sensor is a part of the router, and through a dedicated channel, it transports logs to the collector from where they are stored to the storage units. The storage units are further connected to the analyzer for in-depth analysis. The architecture can vary from one type to another, such as for host-flow, perimeter, ...
