Abstract
A network appliance having a control plane and a data plane can process substantially every input packet at wire speed in a programmable packet processing pipeline of the data plane. Sensors, which can be processes implemented within the pipeline, can measure parameters of the network traffic flows and of the network appliance in accordance with monitoring policies. Reporting policies can be triggered when any one of many criteria are met by the parameters. The reporting policy can result in a report being sent to an outside recipient. Alternatively, the reporting policy can result in the network appliance implementing additional monitoring or reporting policies.
