Mike, Without a services PIC, the 'sampling/cflowd/netflow etc.' is done on the RE at relatively low rates (~7-8kpps).
You can get accurate stats (assuming your configuration etc. is proper) and if you're going to rely your billing on this information, I would definetely suggest using a services PIC, along with a very good collector (maybe a database supported flow server) Cheers, Erdem On 5/23/07, TCIS List Acct <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Erdem Sener wrote: > > > You can technically do sampling without a services pic but in this > > case you'll not risk running into performance issues (based on your > > volume, how busy is your RE without sampling etc.) but you may hit the > > PFE problem described on PSN-2007-02-026, if you're using a older code > > (in terms of build date) > > > > So without a services PIC, am I limited to 7,000pps flows?
