Abstract
One embodiment can provide a method and system for monitoring network traffic. During operation, the system may receive a request to monitor packets ingressing or egressing a device. The request can indicate a set of parameters for monitoring the packets. In response to receiving the request, the system may configure a network switch coupled to the device to replicate the packets ingressing or egressing the device. The system can then encapsulate the replicated packets, based on the set of parameters, with a destination address associated with the request, thereby allowing the packets to be analyzed remotely.
