Abstract
A system includes a first device and a second device configured to monitor a plurality of data flows traversing the second device. The second device is configured to collect statistics associated with the plurality of data flows, and includes traffic analysis logic that is configured to augment the plurality of data flows with data including statistical information based on the statistics and address information associated with the first device. The first device is configured to receive the data. The traffic analysis logic is operable to push the statistical information to the first device independently of a real-time request for at least a portion of the statistical information from the first device. The traffic analysis logic is configurable based on at least the address information.
