Abstract
Systems and methods provide for performing performance analytics processing of network traffic by copying packets of network traffic to a switch CPU based on a flag. The systems and methods disclosing receiving network traffic comprising one or more packet, generating a network traffic flow record associated with the received network traffic, the network traffic flow record including a copy-to-CPU bit and one or more function flag bits, setting the copy-to-CPU bit to an on configuration, processing the one or more packets by one or more functions to generate network flow analytics, wherein the one or more function flag bits are set in response to the one or more functions generating network flow analytics, and setting the copy-to-CPU bit to an off configuration.
