Abstract
The disclosure includes a method that includes receiving network traffic having a first plurality of packets that each indicate a first packet source and a first packet destination; determining an analysis host destination for each of the first plurality of packets such that the packets are distributed among a plurality of analysis hosts with communications between a given source-destination pair being sent to the same analysis host; encapsulating the first plurality of packets to generate a second plurality of encapsulated packets having the first plurality of packets as a second packet payload; and sending the second plurality of encapsulated packets to respective analysis host destinations.
