Abstract

See full text

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a plurality of packets and generating a data record that is based on information associated with the packets. The data record includes a synchronized time window field that defines a time boundary at which data aggregation associated with the data record is stopped, where the synchronized time window field remains constant as the data aggregation associated with the data record occurs. In other embodiments, the method includes creating a new cache entry for new packets arriving at a network element, where the new cache entry is created in response to a value of the synchronized time window field changing. The synchronized time window field can include a window size attribute that defines how long the synchronized time window remains unchanged.
