Monitoring ingress and egress in the switch is wasteful of resources.
It's more than a waste of resources: it's pathologically broken and Cisco decline to fix it, despite the fact that enabling ingress-only or egress-only is fully supported via API in the Broadcom SDKs, and consequently the amount of configuration glue required to fix it in NX-OS is nearly zero. Broadcom chipsets don't support netflow, so sflow is the only game in town if you need data telemetry on broadcom-based ToR boxes. As I said in a previous email on this thread, refusing to support this properly is a harmful and short sighted approach to customers' requirements. Nick
