Abstract
Methods are provided to decrease amount of the telemetry data traversed in a network. The methods involve obtaining, by a first network device, a packet of a traffic flow. The packet has a header and a payload. The methods further involve adding, by the first network device, to the header of the packet, telemetry node level metadata while skipping at least one element of the telemetry node level metadata that is redundant to telemetry node level information of the traffic flow and providing the packet to a second network device in a path of a network.
