We have a C3064PQ-10Gx with 10-12gbps bps and around 4m pps and we have in mind to enable sFlow to analyze the traffic, so i want to make sure if i enable sFlow it will not impact on the nexus CPU normally or while i am under DDOS Attacks? because it should process many bps pps, Thank you.

  • It will affect the CPU but not excessively. Forwarding is done in hardware so that won’t be affected Commented Oct 24, 2020 at 16:41
  • so do you think that i am safe without put cpu under pressure if i run sflow for 10-12gbps bps and 4-5m pps ? Commented Oct 24, 2020 at 22:10

    Depends on how fast you sample. Commented Oct 24, 2020 at 23:09

The impact on the CPU depends on the sflow sampling rate. You can adjust the sampling rate and watch the CPU usage. If it gets too high, lower the sampling rate.
