Adrian:
B is :
-B <kilobytes>    Kernel capture buffer size [0]
In my opinion, it  means that fprobe will take:
B packets of S length before processing and sending as netflow data.
If it is ok , it is the packets queue length.
Also you have the "q" flag , witch in my opinion is the queue length for a traffic/data burst.


It would be great if someone can clarify this.
Regards,
Leo.

Glad to hear you sorted it out! What does -B stand for (I haven't used fprobe)? UDP buffer?

    Adrian, finally I got it working properly.
    Reading the man page for fprobe I founded the following:

             Reasonable configuration to run under heavy load:
             fprobe -fip -B4096 -r2 -q10000 -t10000:10000000 localhost:2055

    After applying the B , r and q parameters I got the complete
    traffic shape.
    Also at fprobe server , any performance parameter showed some
    increment so I think it is working

    Thanks for your advice.
    Leandro.

    Hmm, if the source machine doesn't have enough resources to
    export the flows, you should see things like - a core being used
    100% by fprobe or udp packets being dropped because of too small
    buffers in the output of netstat -s (check on both source and
    destination). You could use iptables to count packets leaving the
    source vs packets arriving at the destination to rule out network
    drops in between with something like
    iptables -A OUTPUT -m udp --dport 9995 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A INPUT -m udp --dport 9995 -j ACCEPT
    And check stats with
    iptables -l -n -v

    But it's difficult to troubleshoot...

        Adrian , thanks for your response.
        About sampling ... Im not sure what is it but im running the
        fprobe just with the line:

        /usr/local/sbin/fprobe -i eth3 -fip -n7 172.24.3.12:9995
        <http://172.24.3.12:9995>

        Which in a case o a traffic bellow than 1gbps works great.
        In my case the message you are describing "Sequence errors or
        bad packets"
        Apears many times in the collector log file, so there is some
        problem ,but;
        How can I confirm if the problem is on the nfcapd or the
        fprobe side ? Can I modify on  something on any side to
        properly export more than 1.4Gbps ?
        Both machine where they are running are very powerfull machines.

        I can provide more info
        Thanks in advance!!!
        Leo.

        If you're using sampling you should see differences between
        netflow traffic and real traffic. If not, check that:

        1. you're not losing UDP packets - if you lose packets you
        should see something like this:
        Dec  4 09:35:00 localhost nfcapd[13268]: Ident: 'MyRouter'
        Flows: 11763, Packets: 930064, Bytes: 731126982, Sequence
        Errors: 0, Bad Packets: 0

        Sequence errors or bad packets will indicate something's
        wrong on the network side.

        2. your router has enough capacity (TCAM memory) to export
        all the flows
        If you get errors in your router's log that TCAM memory is
        nearly exhausted, then the router will stop producing flows
        for a while and you get those drops at higher traffic.

            Hi , guys.
            It is very strange but , my nfsen is showing a maximun
            traffic value of
            1.2 gbps when the traffic showed on cacti is 2gbps(also
            meassured on the
            router).
            Traffic shape is ok , minimun values mathes on both tools.
            Any ideas about it ? Is there something to tune on
            fprobe, nfcapd or
            nfsen ?

            Regards,
            Leandro.
