Improving network troubleshooting

Cisco Silicon One enables control systems to access trace records of packet flows across switches, providing detailed insights into processing stages, table interactions and queue usage.

This data is crucial for identifying the causes of packet drops, high delays, unbalanced loads, and congestion in queues, pools and packet memory.

Additionally, it facilitates the real-time identification of elephant flows—large data flows that require optimized load balancing when recognized.

As a result, troubleshooting and serviceability are significantly improved.
