ABSTRACT:
A system for statistically sampling packets is described. In this system, upon or after the occurrence of a predefined statistical event in relation to a packet, a pseudo-random value is obtained and compared to a predetermined threshold. Responsive to this comparison, the system selectively arranges to have the packet statistically sampled. A system for compiling statistics for packets undergoing processing by a packet processing system is described. In this system, upon or after the occurrence of a predefined statistical event in relation to a packet, a cumulative index for the packet is updated to reflect the current processing cycle for the packet. Upon or after completion of processing of the packet, whereupon the cumulative index may reflect more than one processing cycle, packet statistics are updated responsive to the cumulative index for the packet. A second system for compiling statistics for packets undergoing processing by a packet processing system is described. In this system, upon or after a predefined statistical event in relation to a packet, a partial statistics update request is queued. A statistics processor monitors the update requests in the queue for completion. Upon or after completion of a statistics update request, the statistics processor updates packet statistics responsive to the completed update request.
