Was wondering what folks are using to monitor traffic on their networks. Looking into Ixia and APCON devices for dedup and other filtering features as well as passive fiber TAPs to capture the traffic.
Take a look at flow telemetry options you have for your IDC hardware - a combination of flow telemetry, plus the ability to divert traffic into an instrumented sinkhole for full packet-capture is something to consider.
SPAN sessions count against your frames per-second budget; not recommended for serious, high-traffic applications.
