Abstract:
Presented herein are techniques for redacting mirrored network packets prior to providing the mirrored packets to an intended recipient application, such as a third-party analysis application. More specifically, a multi-destination packet redaction device obtains mirrored network traffic that comprises one or more mirrored network packets. The multi-destination packet redaction device filters the mirrored network traffic to determine an intended recipient application of the one or more mirrored network packets and applies a redaction process to redact one or more portions of at least one of the one or more mirrored network packets. The redaction process is customized based on one or more attributes of the intended recipient application.
Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for monitoring application health via correctable errors. The method includes identifying, by a network device, a network packet associated with an application and detecting an error associated with the network packet. In response to detecting the error, the network device increments a counter associated with the application, determines an application score based at least in part on the counter, and telemeters the application score to a controller. The controller can generate a graphical interface based at least in part on the application score and a timestamp associated with the application score, wherein the graphical interface depicts a trend in correctable errors experienced by the application over a network.

Abstract:
Intelligent packet analysis may be provided to determine congestion problems and lead to fast solutions in low latency networks. Specifically, a congestion analyzer system may allow a user to monitor congestion on a network while using lightweight storage. A sniffer tool may be employed to capture all packets and store associated packet information into a database.

Abstract:
Techniques are presented herein to facilitate latency measurements in a networking environment. A first network device receives a packet for transport within a network domain that comprises a plurality of network devices. The plurality of network devices have a common time reference, that is, they are time synchronized. The first network device generates timestamp information indicating time of arrival of the packet at the first network device. The first network device inserts into the packet a tag that comprises at least a first subfield and a second subfield. The first subfield comprising a type indicator to signify to other network devices in the network domain that the tag includes timestamp information, and the second subfield includes the timestamp information. The first network device sends the packet from to into the network domain to another network device. Other network devices which receive that packet can make latency measurements.
Abstract:
Buffer designs and write/read configurations for a buffer in a network device are provided. According to one aspect, a first portion of the packet is written into a first cell of a plurality of cells of a buffer in the network device. Each of the cells has a size that is less than a minimum size of packets received by the network device. The first portion of the packet can be read from the first cell while concurrently writing a second portion of the packet to a second cell.
Abstract:
Techniques are presented herein to facilitate the monitoring of occupancy of a buffer in a network device. Packets are received at a network device. Information is captured describing occupancy of the buffer caused by packet flow through the buffer in the network device. Analytics packets are generated containing the information. The analytics packets from the network device for retrieval of the information contained therein for analysis, replay of buffer occupancy, etc.
