Abstract
A microburst visibility system includes a switch device coupled to each sender device(s) and receiver device(s). The switch device receives flows transmitted by the sender device(s) to the receiver device(s). For each flow that include data packets that are stored in a first queue, the switch device provides a first queue identifier for the first queue in a flow record associated with that flow and modifies, for each data packet that is transmitted as part of that flow, flow information in data packet counter(s) that are associated with the first queue identifier in the flow record associated with that flow. When the switch device detects a microburst in the first queue, it captures the flow information in each data packet counter that is associated with the first queue identifier in each of the flow records included in the switch device, and provides it for analysis.
