Assignee: JUNIPER NETWORKS, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 2:
3. A computing device comprising:
a memory; and
processing circuitry in communication with the memory and configured to:
receive, from a collector device, a request to subscribe, in a target-defined mode, to network telemetry data regarding a network element associated with the computing device;
in response to receiving the request, provision a network telemetry sensor to collect the network telemetry data regarding the network element;
detect a working mode in which the network telemetry sensor is operating to stream the network telemetry data, out of a plurality of working modes for streaming the network telemetry data, as a periodic streaming mode based at least in part on a rate at which statistics of the network element changes values in the network telemetry data collected and streamed by the network telemetry sensor including:
determining that the rate at which statistics of the network element changes values exceeds a specified rate; and
in response to determining that the rate at which statistics of the network element changes values exceeds the specified rate, determining that the working mode of the network telemetry sensor is the periodic streaming mode; and

send, to the collector device, the network telemetry data collected by the network telemetry sensor, wherein a header of the network telemetry data includes a value that indicates the working mode of the network telemetry sensor.
