Elastic modification of application instances in a network visibility infrastructure
Introduced here are network visibility platforms having total processing capacity that can be dynamically varied in response to determining how much network traffic is currently under consideration. A visibility platform can include one or more network appliances, each of which includes at least one instance of an application configured to process data packets. Rather than forward all traffic to a single application instance for processing, the traffic can instead be distributed amongst a pool of application instances to collectively ensure that no data packets are dropped due to over-congestion. Moreover, the visibility platform can be designed such that application instances are elastically added/removed, as necessary, based on the volume of traffic currently under consideration.
