Connectivity Monitor is an EOS feature that allows users to monitor their network resources from their Arista switches. The resources being monitored may or may not be Arista devices. Connectivity monitoring is unidirectional in nature.

This feature is an extension of ZTX monitor mode functionality to virtual machines where a virtual machine running on a hypervisor(ESXi/KVM) will facilitate the generation of MSS policies by exporting flow telemetry to CloudVision Portal. vZTX will primarily focus on the use cases where the data traffic in the customer sites are limited(<10Gbps). This will help the customer to reduce the capital expenditure costs by avoiding the need of purchasing a dedicated hardware box. So, this product can cater to the needs of small to medium size enterprise customers.

Since the introduction of PTP Monitoring feature[1], PTP is capable of recording recent metrics for offset from

Load Balancing on Service Leaf MLAG is a feature designed to support optimal load balancing of traffic sent to a ZTX Monitor Node cluster. The load balance functionality is essential to ensure that bi-directional flows land on the same ZTX Monitor Node in the cluster as all members of the ZTX Monitor Node cluster advertise a common anycast GRE endpoint.

Support for matching of DSCP,ECN,VLAN is available under the QOS class-map configuration on Arista switches.
