Techniques for improving options templates are described. The techniques may be performed at least in part by a network edge device and may include receiving, from a network collector device, a request for an options template download, the request indicating whether a full options template or partial options template are requested. Based at least in part on whether a full options template or a partial options template are requested, the method may also include, transmitting a response to the network collector device including a segment of the options template, wherein each segment includes a flag indicating whether the segment is a last segment of at least one more segment will follow. Finally, the method may include receiving from the collector device and in response to transmitting a segment having the flag indicating the segment is a last segment, an acknowledgement that the full options template has been received.

Options template transport for software defined wide area networks

Techniques for improving options templates for network traffic monitoring and analysis, using pull mode by a network collector device, and sending an acknowledgement, by the network collector device that the download was successfully received are described. The techniques may include transmitting, by a network collector device and to a network edge device, a request to download a full options template, receiving, by the network collector device, responses from the network edge device, each response including a segment of the full options template and each segment including a last segment flag indicating whether the segment is a last segment, and in response to receiving a segment having the last segment flag set, transmitting, by the network collector device and to the network edge device, an acknowledgement that the full options template has been received.
