You may use sampled port mirroring for fast attack detection. It works
pretty well for very short burst attacks.

IPFIX IE 315 fixes this. It also makes it easier to grab any field from

How does IE 315 fix sampling issues? You can use 1:1 with or without
IE 315? Only thing IE 315 allows you to send sflow style raw frames?

My issue with 1:1 isn't that my platform doesn't support it, it's that
it increases backend costs in a way that I cannot justify.

I was focused on the very short attacks. The issue is not sampling, but
the flow cache adding some latency, even when tuned down. That's the
part IE 315 fixes: there is no cache anymore and the sampled packets are
sent directly.
