Abstract:
Example methods and systems are provided for packet event tracking. One example method may comprise: in response to a logical forwarding element detecting a packet event for a first packet, determining a first packet signature of the first packet; and tracking the packet event by updating a set membership filter based on the first packet signature to indicate that the first packet is a member of a set associated with the packet event. The method may also comprise: in response to receiving a query as to whether the packet event has been detected and tracked for a second packet, determining a second packet signature of the second packet. Based on the second packet signature, the set membership filter may be applied to determine whether the second packet is a possible member of the set associated with the packet event.
