A network captured traffic distribution device is provided. The network captured traffic distribution device includes a stacking port configured to enable the stacking of the network captured traffic distribution device with at least one additional network captured traffic distribution device in a stacked topology. The network captured traffic distribution device further includes a processor configured to determine a target destination of a received traffic flow of captured data packets. The processor is further configured to determine a plurality of routes through the stacked topology from the network captured traffic distribution device to the target destination. The processor is further configured to determine an amount of available filtering capacity associated with each network captured traffic distribution device along each of the plurality of determined routes. The processor is further configured to select an optimum route from the plurality of determined routes based on the determined amounts of available filtering capacity.
