Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments provide a system for lossless packet monitoring in a virtualized. The system, using a virtual tap, intercepts packets from a data compute node operating on a host machine, between the data compute node (DCN) and a managed forwarding element on the host. As part of the lossless packet mirroring, the virtual tap forwards data files related to the mirrored packets to a traffic monitoring. The traffic monitoring application stores the data received from the virtual tap and is capable of performing analytics on the stored data. In some embodiments, the system also includes a central controller that communicates with the other elements of the system to manage the traffic monitoring.
