Abstract:
Accelerating monitoring of network traffic by: configuring a first network chip of a non-accelerated line card with a VOQ associated with an internal interface that is connected to a second network chip of a first accelerated line card; receiving, at the first network chip, a data unit; selecting, by the first network chip, the data unit based on a traffic sampling rate; adding information identifying the data unit as having been selected for sampling to obtain a selected data unit; and sending the selected data unit from the first network chip to the second network chip using the VOQ and the internal interface. The second network chip identifies the selected data unit and, based on the identification, appends a sampling header to the data unit to obtain a sampled data unit, and transmits the sampled data unit to the sampling engine of the first accelerated line card.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of accelerating monitoring of network traffic, the method comprising:\n configuring a first network chip of a non-accelerated line card of a network device with a virtual output queue (VOQ) associated with an internal interface of the first network chip that is operatively connected to a second network chip of a first accelerated line card of the network device; receiving, at the first network chip, a network traffic data unit; selecting, by the first network chip, the network traffic data unit based on a traffic sampling rate; adding, by the first network chip, information identifying the network traffic data unit as having been selected for sampling to the network traffic data unit to obtain a selected network traffic data unit; and sending the selected network traffic data unit from the first network chip to the second network chip using the VOQ and the internal interface, wherein the second network chip identifies the selected network traffic data unit based on the information identifying the network traffic data unit as the selected network traffic data unit and, based on the identification, appends a sampling header to the network traffic data unit to obtain a sampled network traffic data unit, and transmits the sampled network traffic data unit to a sampling engine of the first accelerated line card.
