Abstract
Systems and methods for building a hyper-scale monitoring fabric are described. The system receives a duplicate of a first portion of traffic information from a production network as first traffic information and communicates the first traffic information in the hyper-scale monitoring fabric. The first traffic information is communicated to a controller computer that configures the hyper-scale monitoring fabric. The system receives a duplicate of a second portion of the traffic information from the production network as second traffic information. The system forwards the second traffic information to a tool farm.
