Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for monitoring the performance of an in-line tool without adding data to network traffic routed through the in-line tool. In some embodiments, performance of the in-line tool is based on a measured latency introduced by the processing of packets through the in-line tool. In some embodiments, network traffic is adaptively routed based on the measured latency at the in-line tool.
