like putting a script on the switch that says the cpu utilization is x% higher? Do higher end switches report out utilization of the packet processing asic? I have a few high end switches in my homelab, I can of course tell the utilization of the management processor but I have never tried to delve into what the actual switch chip is doing.
- bombcar 4y agoI was thinking more remotely noticing that throughput dropped - my switches can route at line speed if they avoid the CPU, but if the CPU is involved it drops to about half line speed. If you're the one controlling the network router, you know when the sniffing is going on - this would be trying to detect that your ISP has turned the "NSA button" on.
