Hello,

As was mentioned earlier today, flow-tools is a little long in the
tooth and it looks like lots of other projects have popped up to
fill the void.

That said, of the remaining list subs, what are you folks using or
considering moving to?

I'm particularly interested in any collector that's able to provide
some of the less technical staff with the ability to look at flow
data easily.  My wish list would include the following data somewhat
easily accessible:

-being able to tell a customer what's eating up their bandwidth ("oh
look, you've got 20Mb/s of outbound BitTorrent traffic, time to
write an IT policy on that").
-accurate traffic counts, ideally something that could even be used
for billing purposes.
-some basic alerting, such as a huge jump in PPS to any particular host.
-network-wide usage info (ie: X% of traffic is http, Y% is nntp, etc.)

Being able to do the one-offs listed above in a browser is a big plus...

Thanks,

Charles
