Subject
[Flow-tools] Experiences with netflow from Junipers





Hey Team,

We've installed some new fancy Juniper routers here at UCB.  The netflow
experience has been pretty good so far, but I thought I'd share some
wrinkles in case people come up against them in the future.

The new routers are of vintage:

Model: m7i
JUNOS Base OS boot [7.4R1.7]

I've had two problems with them.  Problem number 1 was really long flows,
like 4 or 6 hours.  There's a knob that is supposed to expire flows after
a set amount of time, but twisting the knob didn't stop the long flows :(

The second problem was identified today; I got some wacky flows from the
Juniper that have 0 packets and octets:

Start             End               Sif   SrcIPaddress    SrcP  DIf   DstIPaddress    DstP    P Fl Pkts       Octets

0521.23:12:55.315 0521.23:28:07.795 55    169.229.123.123  32862 56  192.58.123.123    53    17  0  0          0        

That causes flow-stat to freak out a bit:

...
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
Ignoring bogus flow dPkts=0
...

Does anybody have a strong opinion about writing logic into flow-capture
to discard such flows?  I'm not offering a patch, just trying to spur
debate :)

Mike
