Abstract: A netflow generator appliance is provided. The netflow generator appliance is configured to perform operations, including receiving a plurality of netflow records at a netflow generator appliance, each netflow record including at least a hash tag; converting a first hash tag of the first netflow record into a first percentage based on a load balancing function; based on the first percentage, storing the first netflow record in a first queue of data that are scheduled to be sent to a first netflow collector; converting a second hash tag of a second netflow record into a second percentage based on the load balancing function, wherein the second percentage differs from the first percentage; and based on the second percentage, storing the second netflow record in a second queue of data that are scheduled to be sent to a second netflow collector.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of distributing netflow records is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of netflow records, each netflow record associated with a hash tag. The hash tag may include, for example, a random M-bit pattern of bits. The method filters the plurality of netflow records over a first hash tag range in response to the hash tag value and storing the first filtered netflow records in a first queue associated with a first netflow collector; filters the plurality of netflow records over a second hash tag range in response to the hash tag value and storing the second filtered netflow records in a second queue associated with a second netflow collector, wherein the second hash tag range differs from the first hash tag range; sends the first filtered netflow records from the first queue to the first netflow collector; and sends the second filtered netflow records from the second queue to the second netflow collector.
