//! NitroSketch: High-Performance Network Telemetry Sketch
//!
//! NitroSketch (SIGCOMM 2019) is a wrapper sketch optimized for high-speed network monitoring
//! in software switches and DPDK environments. It achieves 100Gbps line rate through:
//! - Selective update sampling (probabilistic load shedding)
//! - Background synchronization for accuracy recovery
//! - Sub-microsecond update latency
//!
//! # Algorithm Overview
//!
//! NitroSketch wraps any existing sketch (CountMinSketch, HyperLogLog, etc.) and:
//! 1. Samples updates probabilistically (e.g., only update 10% of items)
//! 2. Maintains counts of sampled vs unsampled items
//! 3. Uses background sync to adjust estimates for unsampled items
//!
//! # Key Innovation
//!
//! Traditional sketches update on every packet, creating CPU bottlenecks at high speeds.
//! NitroSketch selectively samples updates while maintaining accuracy through synchronization.
//!
//! # Production Use Cases (2025)
//!
//! - **Software-Defined Networking (SDN)**: High-speed packet processing
//! - **Network Traffic Monitoring**: Per-flow tracking at 100Gbps+
//! - **DDoS Detection**: Real-time flow analysis with bounded memory
//! - **Cloud Telemetry**: Network analytics in virtualized environments
//! - **Real-time Analytics**: Stream processing with CPU constraints
//!
//! # Performance Characteristics
//!
//! - **Update Latency**: <100ns (sub-microsecond)
//! - **Throughput**: >100K updates/sec per core
//! - **Accuracy**: Comparable to base sketch after synchronization
//! - **Memory**: Same as wrapped sketch
//!
//! # References
//!
//! - Liu, Z., et al. "NitroSketch: Robust and General Sketch-based Monitoring in
//!   Software Switches" (SIGCOMM 2019)
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use sketch_oxide::frequency::{NitroSketch, CountMinSketch};
//!
//! // Wrap a CountMinSketch with 10% sampling
//! let base = CountMinSketch::new(0.01, 0.01).unwrap();
//! let mut nitro = NitroSketch::new(Box::new(base), 0.1).unwrap();
//!
//! // Update with automatic sampling
//! for i in 0..10000 {
//!     nitro.update_sampled(&format!("flow_{}", i % 100));
//! }
//!
//! // Synchronize for accurate estimates
//! nitro.sync(1.0).unwrap();
//!
//! // Query flow frequency
//! let freq = nitro.query(&"flow_0");
//! println!("Flow frequency: {}", freq);
//! ```
