If you decide to go the Netflow route, take a look at http://www.caida.org/tools/measurement/cflowd/
The describe it as - "cflowd is a flow analysis tool currently used for analyzing Cisco's NetFlow enabled switching method. The current release (described below) includes the collections, storage, and basic analysis modules for cflowd and for arts++ libraries. This analysis package permits data collection and analysis by ISPs and network engineers in support of capacity planning, trends analysis, and characterization of workloads in a network service provider environment. Other areas where cflowd may prove useful include usage tracking for Web hosting, accounting and billing, network planning and analysis, network monitoring, developing user profiles, data warehousing and mining, as well as security-related investigations" HTH Dom Stocqueler -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of steve Sent: 06 March 2003 11:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Traffic Monitoring [7:64351] HMMM, there are lots of answer`s to this question... 1. built into all 3600 and above ios 12.0 and above is something called cisco netflow . This will basically do a "sh ip accounting" (v1) and export this data " at random intervals" to a collector... This software can then be analysed and reports come of this... to do this you can 1 buy the cisco netflow collector ,which is a unix app ,and point your routers to it.. this simply collects data to be analysed by anither app 2.get a free version (i did 3.6) of cisco netflow analyser.to make reports ....which to be honest is abit pants... 3. get a third party app like either HP Inetnert performance monitor or concord traffic accountant .. 2. RMON Probes what you could do is buy a phsical probe and tap it inbetween your csu/dsu and router.. and again you need some sort of analysing software.... e.g Netscout RTM 1.4 (as part of ciscoworks LMS2.1) and a netscout probe (8241 fast ethernet) 3 Get MRTG ....it does all you ask for (and so iam told ) it include`s netflow monitoring.....runs on linux ....and is well supported HTH steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Dodds" To: Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 11:09 PM Subject: Re: Traffic Monitoring [7:64351] > Net Flow > > Can you recommend software to determine which hosts at the branch office > > generate all this traffic and what kind of traffic (ie. protocol) it > > is?
