Abstract
A flow of packets is communicated through a data center. The data center includes multiple racks, where each rack includes multiple network devices. A group of packets of the flow is received onto a first network device. The first device includes a neural network. The first network device generates a neural network feature vector (NNFV) based on the received packets. The first network device then sends the NNFV to a second network device. The second device uses the NNFV to determine a set of weight values. The weight values are then sent back to the first network device. The first device loads the weight values into the neural network. The neural network, as configured by the weight values, then analyzes each of a plurality of flows received onto the first device to determine whether the flow likely has a particular characteristic.
