Methods and apparatus for analyzing network traffic in a network are disclosed herein. The network may include a plurality of network analyzers. An method for analyzing network traffic may include: receiving a data packet at a first network element including a first header that indicates a destination address of a second network element; generating a new data packet including a copy of at least a portion of the received data packet and a second header that indicates a destination address of a plurality of network elements that are configured to monitor the network traffic; transmitting the received data packet to the second network element; and separately transmitting the new data packet. The new data packet may be replicated by one or more network elements along transmission paths between the first network element and the plurality of network elements that are configured to monitor the network traffic.
