Systems and methods for accurate monitoring and reporting of flows impacted due to link failures in data centers

In some implementations, a method of flow monitoring and identification may include identifying one or more ingress interfaces, where customer flow and traffic enters a switch. In addition, the method may include identifying one or more egress interfaces where the customer flow and traffic exits the switch. The method may include determining accurate information of the customer flow passing through the one or more ingress interfaces and the one or more egress interfaces, which includes metadata from a Layer 3 IP Header.
