Abstract
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive a copy of or make a copy of one or more packets of a flow of packets between a source and a destination. While or after the one or more packets are forwarded to the destination, the content of the one or more packets is compared to a policy to determine if the flow of packets triggers a policy response. A map of devices within a datacenter cluster of devices is maintained and used to select one or more available devices when packet inspection is distributed.
