Abstract
Systems and methods for INT telemetry are disclosed. The system selects a subset of flows from a plurality of flows to monitor. Parameters of the selected flows are sent by the management controller to an INT source for creating a watchlist. The INT source analyses an incoming packet against the parameters in the watchlist to determine if the packet belongs to a flow selected for monitoring. If the packet matches any one of the parameters, then the INT source embeds the packet with an IP address of a designated tenant collector and the INT instructions. A designated collector is allocated for each flow, set of flows, or tenant. Regardless of the path taken by the packet, the embedded INT packet contains all the information needed for a downstream network element to send telemetry data without the need for configuring the network element for telemetry.
