Summary
This solution brief outlines the concept of network state streaming, emphasizing its role in providing continuous real-time telemetry for network infrastructure. It describes how traditional polling methods, which capture data at fixed intervals, can lead to missed critical information, particularly during rapid changes in network conditions. The document explains that network state is a dynamic collection of information maintained by devices, and highlights the limitations of legacy approaches in capturing this data. It details how Arista's NetDL Streamer continuously streams real-time state data to CloudVision, ensuring no state blind spots and allowing for effective troubleshooting and performance monitoring. The brief also discusses the advantages of state streaming over polling, particularly in detecting anomalies and optimizing performance, which are crucial for modern enterprises that require immediate visibility into their network operations. Overall, the document presents a transformative approach to network monitoring that enhances operational efficiency.
