Abstract
A data system controls a virtual Probe (vProbe) in a Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI). A probe controller transfers header separation instructions for a multiple protocols to the vProbe. The vProbe receives data packets and identifies the protocols in the data packets. The vProbe retrieves header data from individual data packets based on the header separation instructions for the individual protocols in the individual data packets. The vProbe transfers the retrieved header data based on the header separation instructions.
