Take a look at flow telemetry options you have for your IDC hardware - a
combination of flow telemetry, plus the ability to divert traffic into
an instrumented sinkhole for full packet-capture is something to
consider.
SPAN sessions count against your frames per-second budget; not
recommended for serious, high-traffic applications.
