Abstract
A method and system of accelerating monitoring of network traffic. The method may include receiving, at a network chip of a network device, a network traffic data unit; capturing, by the network chip, the network traffic data unit based on a traffic sampling rate; adding, by the network chip, a sampling header to the network traffic data unit to obtain a sampled network traffic data unit; sending the sampled network traffic data unit from the network chip to a sampling engine; receiving, from the sampling engine, a flow datagram that includes a network traffic data unit portion and a flow datagram header; generating a flow network data traffic unit that includes the flow datagram; and transmitting the flow network data traffic unit towards a collector.
