1. A method for monitoring live-data flow through a network, comprising: monitoring, at a first processing node, a mirrored live-data flow of the live-data flow passing through a selected point within the network in a non-intrusive manner that does not affect the live-data flow passing through the selected point, wherein the live-data flow comprises data that is in active transmission between endpoints in the network and prior to onward storage of the data in a database; decoding, at the first processing node, each packet within the mirrored data flow according to each protocol associated with a packet, wherein packets have a plurality of protocols associated therewith are decoded in parallel with each other; comparing, at the first processing node, each of the decoded packets to at least one of a set of predetermined or deduced conditions received from a second processing node; executing at least one of a predetermined or deduced response including an indication of occurrence of the at least one predetermined or deduced condition based upon detection of the at least one predetermined or deduced condition within the decoded packets; processing, at the second processing node, at least a portion of the decoded packets of the live-data flow causing execution of the at least one predetermined or deduced response to determine a manner for controlling an operation of the network at a same time the live-data flow is in active transmission between the endpoints in the network; and controlling the operation of the network in response to the processing step while events associated with the live-data flow are occurring within the network.
