Abstract
A statistics data collection mechanism for distributed, high-speed data processing environments is described. According to one embodiment, an update message containing statistics data related to a data packet carried along a virtual connection is assembled and the update message is then transmitted to a statistics collection engine for further processing. According to another embodiment, the update message is received from one or more processing devices, and multiple counters are then updated to store the statistics data.
