1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a gateway executing on a computing device, and from each of a plurality of compute nodes, a plurality of partially replicated data packets;
determining, by the gateway and based on the plurality of partially replicated data packets, traffic data that comprise, for each compute node of the plurality of compute nodes, one or more of:
quantities of partially replicated data packets associated with the compute node,
time information of partially replicated data packets associated with the compute node,
identification information of partially replicated data packets associated with the compute node, or
interaction tracking information of partially replicated data packets associated with the compute node; and
sending, by the gateway and to a management device, at least a portion of the traffic data for each compute node of the plurality of compute nodes.
