Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for performing a multi-point capture of packets in a network. The method identifies multiple nodes for the multi-point capture in the network. The method configures each node of the multiple nodes to capture a set of packets. The method receives multiple captured packet sets from the multiple nodes. The method analyzes the multiple captured packet sets.
Claims24
A method for performing a multi-point capture of packets in a network, the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of nodes for the multi-point capture in the network;
- configuring each node of the plurality of nodes to capture a set of packets;
- receiving a plurality of captured packet sets from the plurality of nodes;
- and
- analyzing the plurality of captured packet sets.
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit performs a multi-point capture of packets in a network, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
- identifying a plurality of nodes for the multi-point capture in the network;
- configuring each node of the plurality of nodes to capture a set of packets;
- receiving a plurality of captured packet sets from the plurality of nodes;
- and
- analyzing the plurality of captured packet sets.
