A netflow generator appliance is provided. The netflow generator appliance is configured to perform operations, including receiving a plurality of netflow records at a netflow generator appliance, each netflow record including at least a hash tag; converting a first hash tag of the first netflow record into a first percentage based on a load balancing function; based on the first percentage, storing the first netflow record in a first queue of data that are scheduled to be sent to a first netflow collector; converting a second hash tag of a second netflow record into a second percentage based on the load balancing function, wherein the second percentage differs from the first percentage; and based on the second percentage, storing the second netflow record in a second queue of data that are scheduled to be sent to a second netflow collector.
