Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed that pre-classify network traffic monitored within virtual machine (VM) platforms. Client packet monitor applications operate within client VM platforms to monitor network packets, generate monitored packets representing traffic of interest, determine packet classifications for the monitored packets based upon packet contents, identify tags associated with the packet classifications, encapsulate monitored packets with encapsulation headers including the tags to form encapsulated packets, and forward the encapsulated packets to tool VM platforms. Tool packet monitor applications operate within the tool VM platforms to receive the encapsulated packets, identify packet classifications associated with the tags, remove the encapsulation headers from the encapsulated packets, and forward de-encapsulated packets to network destinations based upon the packet classifications. The tool packet monitor applications can also aggregate de-encapsulated packets having the same packet classification prior to forwarding the aggregated packets to one or more network destinations.
