Abstract
This disclosure presents several embodiments of a device configured to perform inband telemetry tracking. The device is configured to store a flow table that tracks metrics of a detected packet flow that passes through the device. More specifically, the flow table tracks several telemetry metrics, each telemetry metric being specific to a tracking time period, and tracking statics based only on packets of the packet flow that were received during that specific time period. At an end of an export time period (which is longer than a tracking time period), the device transmits all stored telemetry metrics from the flow table to a collector.
