Abstract
Improved network visibility may be achieved by deriving network traffic information from numerous visibility platforms that are communicatively coupled to one another. In some embodiments, an end user interacts with a distributed visibility fabric via a user interface, which can include a high-level representation of each visibility platform. The end user can then map the network objects of each visibility platform onto a series of network visibility appliances. This technique allows certain network objects (e.g., maps) to be intelligently distributed amongst the series of network visibility appliances.
