SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FLOW-BASED INBAND TELEMETRY

Abstract:

Methods and systems are described for inband telemetry. The system receives a plurality of packets, each packet comprising a portion with INT data. The system identifies a packet flow from a source device to a destination device in the plurality of packets and calculates a telemetry metric based on INT data of a plurality of packets of the packet flow. Then the system forwards the calculated telemetry metric to an INT collector.
