The NIC receives 800 Mbps (80% utilization), so no memory is required for the monitoring device's NIC to process all full-duplex traffic.

If there is burst of traffic on Side A of 900 Mbps and Side B remains at 500 Mbps, the aggregated traffic equals 1400 Mbps, 400 Mbps over the capacity of the NIC. The excess traffic is put in memory on a first-in-first-out basis until either the buf- fer is full or the burst passes.

The extra 400 Mbps of traffic is stored in buffer memory. Memory continues to fill until capacity is reached, or the burst ends.

Figure 2: Side A plus Side B becomes greater than 100% of the NIC’s receive capacity

After the burst has passed and the buffers have passed all the stored traffic, each monitoring device resumes receiving traffic directly from the link.

Utilization statistics and alarms are monitored before buffering and aggregation.
