Abstract
A network switch includes multiple ports that serve as ingress ports and egress ports for connecting to a communication network, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive packets via the ingress ports, select one or more of the packets for mirroring, create mirror copies of the selected packets and output the mirror copies for analysis, mark the packets for which mirror copies have been created with mirror-duplicate indications, and forward the packets to the egress ports, including the packets that are marked with the mirror-duplicate indications.
