System, method, and apparatus for high throughput ingestion for streaming telemetry data for network performance management

A system, comprising:

• a network performance data collection layer structured to collect network performance data from a plurality of network devices, the network performance data comprising a unique key;
• a data distribution layer structured to divide the network performance data into a metadata portion and a performance data portion;
• and
• a query management layer structured to provide a performance report in response to receiving a request for a performance query, and further structured to provide the performance report by associating each of the metadata portion and the performance data portion with a corresponding unique key.

A method, comprising:

• collecting network performance data from a plurality of network devices, the network performance data comprising a unique key, wherein the network performance data comprises metadata;
• receiving a request for a performance query;
• and
• providing a performance report in response to the request, wherein providing the performance report comprises processing the metadata in response to the unique key.
