  • Patent number: 11528201
    Abstract: Features are disclosed for enriching a packet of network traffic between a first computing environment and a second computing environment with telemetry information. Each computing environment can include a network device for enriching packets with telemetry information and parsing enriched packets. A source network device can select a packet of the network traffic for enrichment based on enrichment parameters and generate an enriched packet including payload information and telemetry information. A destination network device can receive the enriched packet and parse the enriched packet to separate the payload information and telemetry information. The destination network device can transmit transmission information to the source network device based on the enriched packet.

  • Patent number: 11516050
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for monitoring network traffic using traffic mirroring. According to some examples, traffic mirroring allows customers to monitor traffic at different sources within a VPC. For example, a source may be any Elastic Network Interface (ENI) in their VPC, including elastic network interfaces (ENIs) on virtual machine instances, Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateways, Load Balancers, VPC endpoints, Internal Gateways, Transit Gateways, and more. Filters can be utilized to determine the network traffic to mirror. A customer may also configure to monitor real-time traffic with a monitoring appliance of their choice. With traffic mirroring, data traffic may be identified and sent to one or more target devices. Customers may monitor traffic within a VPC for content inspection, forensic analysis, troubleshooting, record keeping, and the like.
