sFlow is a sampling technique which monitors incoming traffic on all interfaces without affecting network performance. Egress sFlow is a feature which samples the packets in the egress pipeline for analytical purposes. Currently egress sFlow is only software based on Arista switches.

sFlow is a sampling technique which monitors incoming traffic on all interfaces without affecting network performance. Egress sFlow is a feature which samples the packets in the egress pipeline for analytical purposes. Currently egress sFlow is only software based on Arista switches.

The feature allows egress sFlow sampling to be enabled per a subinterface. The egress sFlow sampling per a subinterface configuration will only have effect when egress sFlow sampling is disabled on the parent interface as egress sFlow sampling on the parent interface includes traffic on all subinterfaces.

This feature adds support for a selected set of configured interfaces to collect egress flow samples. Egress sFlow can be configured on Ethernet and Port-Channel interfaces, and on subinterfaces on select platforms. Hardware acceleration is not currently supported for egress sFlow and all sample processing is performed in software.
