摘要: Methods and apparatus are provided for determining traffic characteristics statistics storage area network flows. An intelligent line card associated with a fibre channel switch is used to snoop selected flows in network. Flows characterized using information that may include initiator target pairs logical unit number (LUN) groupings. Selected configured monitoring about the maintained. flow can be analyzed at switch.
