Scale and Limitations
This section lists the supported scale and known limitations to be considered while using Flowlink.
PCE
The PCE processes up to 10K unique flows/second. This is the total number of Flowlink and VEN flows received by the PCE.
The PCE handles up to 20 concurrent POSTs.
The PCE allows a maximum file size of 100MB per POST.
For each IP address that exists in your data flows, you need to create corresponding unmanaged workloads in the PCE if you want to see those traffic flows in Illumination. Else, those flows will not be displayed.
Flowlink
Flowlink supports multiple flow data sources.
The maximum number of sources per Flowlink is not reported. As a best practice, consider one source per Flowlink.
Flows with Class D addresses are ignored.
The following two limitations are generic traffic limitations with Illumination and are not specific to Flowlink:
At least one IP address in the reported flow must match an IP address of a workload object (managed or unmanaged).
If a virtual service object and workload object have the same IP address, flow lines will always be drawn to the virtual service.
