Munguva ye network dzinomhanya zvakanyanya uye zvivakwa zve cloud-native, kutarisa traffic ye network munguva chaiyo uye inoshanda kwave musimboti wekushanda kweIT kwakavimbika. Sezvo network dzichikura kuti dzitsigire 10 Gbps+ links, maapplication akachengetwa mu container, uye ma distributed architectures, nzira dzechinyakare dzekutarisa traffic—dzakadai se full packet capture—hadzichakwanisiki nekuda kwehuwandu hwezviwanikwa zvadzo. Apa ndipo panoshanda sFlow (sampled Flow): network telemetry protocol yakareruka, yakajairika yakagadzirirwa kupa kuoneka kwakazara kwe network traffic pasina midziyo ye network inokuvadza. Mublog rino, tichapindura mibvunzo yakakosha nezve sFlow, kubva pakutsanangurwa kwayo kwekutanga kusvika pakushanda kwayo mu Network Packet Brokers (NPBs).
1. Chii chinonzi sFlow?
sFlow inzira yakavhurika, yakajairika yekutarisa traffic ye network yakagadzirwa neInmon Corporation, inotsanangurwa muRFC 3176. Kusiyana nezita rayo, sFlow haina "flow tracking" logic - itekinoroji ye telemetry yakavakirwa pa sampling iyo inounganidza uye inotumira nhamba dzetraffic ye network kune central collector kuti iongororwe. Kusiyana nemaitiro akadai seNetFlow, sFlow haichengete zvinyorwa zve flow pamidziyo ye network; pachinzvimbo, inotora sampuro diki, dzinomiririra traffic uye device counters, yobva yatumira data iri kumuunganidzi kuti rigadziriswe.
Pachinyanya kukosha, sFlow yakagadzirirwa kukura uye kushandiswa zvishoma kwezviwanikwa. Yakabatanidzwa mumidziyo yenetwork (switches, routers, firewalls) seSFlow Agent, ichigonesa kutarisa real-time high-speed links (kusvika ku10 Gbps zvichikwira) pasina kukanganisa mashandiro emudziyo kana network throughput. Kugadziriswa kwayo kunovimbisa kubatana pakati pevatengesi, zvichiita kuti ive sarudzo yepasi rose kune akasiyana network environments.
2. sFlow Inoshanda Sei?
sFlow inoshanda nehurongwa huri nyore, hune zvikamu zviviri: sFlow Agent (yakaiswa mumidziyo yenetwork) uye sFlow Collector (sevha iri pakati pekuunganidza nekuongorora data). Mabasa ekushanda anotenderera pamatanho maviri akakosha ekutora sampling—packet sampling uye counter sampling—uye data export, sezvakatsanangurwa pazasi:
