Abstract
Transmitting sampled flows in datagrams to a collector includes adding entropy to the headers of the UDP packets that encapsulate the datagrams. The entropy, for example, can be a timestamp associated with a sampled data packet contained in the datagram. Each UDP packet is transmitted on a data patch selected from among a plurality of data paths using at least the UDP header. The entropy in each UDP header serves to spread the transmission of UDP packets across the plurality of data paths.
