A city compares sFlow-like sampling with counter streaming for its leaves. How should those analytics approaches be distinguished at concept level?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Sampling is tasting the soup ladle by ladle; counter streaming is watching the stove dials spin in real time. Both help cook, but one profiles flows and the other tracks rates and queues. Calling them identical just confuses the kitchen.
Full Explanation
Sampled flow technologies (for example sFlow-like approaches) statistically observe packet/flow samples for traffic composition insight. Streaming counter telemetry exports interface, queue, or similar metrics with higher time resolution. They are complementary analytics concepts, not identical mechanisms, and both can apply to data-center leaves rather than only wireless edge.
