ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for monitoring traffic characteristics using intelligent line cards. Selected flows are configured for monitoring based on characteristics such as an initiator target pairing or an initiator target and logical unit (LUN) grouping. Frames such as command frames associated with selected flows are forwarded to both an output port and a switch port analyzer (SPAN).
