Abstract:

Systems and methods provide a unified collection service for a network. A first network device receives a data reporting message from a data reporting device. The data reporting message includes a first format for a particular data reporting device. The first network device adds routing data to the data reporting message to create an encapsulated data reporting message and forwards the encapsulated data reporting message to a second network device. The second network device transforms the encapsulated data reporting message into a second format that includes a unified message format and forwards, based on the routing data, the unified data reporting message.
