I see 30Mbit avg. throu AS3320 (german telekom) but i am sure that it cant be correct i have more then 30Mbit. I upload a file to a server which have 10MB and sFlow shows me 17MB. I use a sample rate of 512 on my core-routers (only packetes importent for me) I know AMSIX use it too with a sample rate of 8196 (or so) and this graph looks exactly what my mrtg/snmp graph say. I think u have always a differents between 4-6 percent. I dont know any german ISP which use flow based accounting. Maybe the reason is that the router is under heavy cpu load. I use (and other ISPs) flow samples only for debugging and ddos detection/prevention what realy good works. Let me do some checks when my new routers come and see what he say when i use a sample rate of 8196 (or so) maybe then it will be fine. > NetFlow is then a de-facto industry standard deployed in a lot of > billing solutions today.

I know a german link where someone explain that net.flow is not accurate enough. When i see that flow based accounting works fine u can be sure i will migrate all my customers to ip based accounting. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Daniel mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists $ cat ~/satish/url.txt System administrator ( Data Center ) please visit this site http://linux.tulipit.com --------------------------------- Office firewalls, cyber cafes, college labs, don't allow you to download CHAT?
