Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and devices for filtering captured network traffic received by a network captured traffic distribution device communicatively coupled to a plurality of network captured network traffic distribution devices arranged in a stacked topology are described. Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and devices for applying a plurality of filters to received captured network traffic by a network captured traffic distribution device communicatively coupled to a plurality of network captured network traffic distribution devices arranged in a stacked topology are also described. Applying a plurality of filters to the received captured traffic may generate a plurality of filtered captured traffic sets. In some instances, filtered captured network traffic sets that have similar target destinations may be aggregated together and transmitted toward the target destination.
