Abstract
A computer-implemented method of distributing netflow records is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of netflow records, each netflow record associated with a hash tag. The hash tag may include, for example, a random M-bit pattern of bits. The method filters the plurality of netflow records over a first hash tag range in response to the hash tag value and storing the first filtered netflow records in a first queue associated with a first netflow collector; filters the plurality of netflow records over a second hash tag range in response to the hash tag value and storing the second filtered netflow records in a second queue associated with a second netflow collector, wherein the second hash tag range differs from the first hash tag range; sends the first filtered netflow records from the first queue to the first netflow collector; and sends the second filtered netflow records from the second queue to the second netflow collector.
