Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and devices for determining an optimum route for the transmission of a received traffic flow of captured data packets from a network captured traffic distribution device, through a stacked topology of network captured traffic distribution devices, to a target destination are provided. A plurality of routes through a stacked topology may be determined and analyzed according to one or more criterion. An optimum route may then be selected based upon the analysis. On some occasions, the determination of an optimum route may incorporate information regarding operating conditions for the stacked topology.
