Summary:A system and method, the method comprising: calculating, at a collector receiving a data flow and via a hashing algorithm, all possible hashes associated with at least one virtual attribute associated with the data flow to yield resultant hash values; based on the resultant hash values, computing a multicast address group; multicasting the data flow to n leafs based on the multicast address group; and, at respective other collectors, filtering received sub-flows of the data flow based on the resultant hash values, wherein if a respective collector is owned by a hash, the respective collector accepts and saves a respective sub-flow in a local switch collector database.
