Abstract
A method for configuring network device adapted to process network traffic comprising a plurality of network flows and to export network flow information. For configuring the network device, a copy of the network traffic that is processed by the network device is created. A simulation of a process of collecting the network flow information using the copy of the network traffic is performed. Based on the results of the simulation, a preferred information collection scheme is determined. The network device is then configured to collect the network flow information to be exported according to the preferred information collection scheme.
