Abstract
A method for in-band telemetry rate limiting is disclosed. An apparatus and computer program product also perform the functions of the method. Embodiments of the method include receiving a telemetry packet at an egress node of a data pathway in a data network. The data pathway includes an ingress node, transit nodes and the egress node and the telemetry packet includes a telemetry parameter where the telemetry parameter is for a node in the data pathway. The method includes comparing the telemetry parameter with a previous telemetry parameter from a previous telemetry packet received at the egress node prior to receiving the telemetry packet, and transmitting telemetry data from the telemetry packet to a network controller in response to a telemetry difference exceeding a telemetry parameter threshold. The telemetry difference includes a difference between the telemetry parameter and the previous telemetry parameter.
