What is an Argus?
Argus is a mythological Greek god with hundreds of eyes. There are a few stories that involve Argus, but the most appropriate is where Hera commanded Argus to watch over what seemed to be cow, suspecting that it was more than a member of one of Zeus’s flock. It indeed was Io, one of Zeus’s girlfriends. Argus is a Real Time Flow Monitor that is designed to perform comprehensive data network traffic auditing. ARGUS stands for Audit Record Generation and Usage System.
