 The main purpose is identify periodically boxes on an internal

plug mode=shameless My ulog-acctd, installed on the border router
using Netfilter, has put much less load on the routers as compared to
net-acct and any libpcap-based tool in tests at the ISP for which I
wrote it./plug

With a little know-how in shell-scripting, it should be trivial to
generate statistics and graphs from its output.

 if you modified it to produce Netflow output (same as cisco and
 other routers), then there's a good range of tools which already
 exist to do this. and, it's always a good idea to use an existing
 standard rather than reinvent the wheel.

Unfortunately, I probably won't have the time for that, as I no longer
work for the ISP I originally wrote the code for. And I suppose those
guys no longer need it, either. (New manglement took over and for some
reason decided they liked C and J better than L just about everywhere
where it had proven to work very well at a fraction of the cost.)

It still is a good idea, I actually thought about that at some time.
Just never got around to implementing ulog-fprobe.

 e.g. these are already in debian:

 flow-tools - collects and processes NetFlow data
 flowscan - flow-based IP traffic analysis and visualization tool
 libcflow-perl - Perl module for analyzing raw IP flow files written by cflowd

I am aware of those, 

 btw, there are also two libpcap-based netflow capturers already
 debianised - a netfilter/ulog alternative would be a good thing.

 fprobe - exports NetFlow V5 datagrams to a remote collector
 pmacct - promiscuous mode traffic accountant

Those presumably suffer from the same problem net-acct (which
ulog-acctd was originally based on) does: Comparably high load for the
same task.

What Gigabit Ethernet card to buy?

2003-10-01 Thread Hilko Bengen
Hi,

I am currently in the process of choosing hardware for Debian
GNU/Linux based router systems and am looking for Gigabit Ethernet
interface cards (and appropriate mainboards).

I have the following requirements (in that order):

1. Good driver support in 2.4 kernels (it'd be ok if the kernel had to
   be patched, I'm familiar with that...)
2. Adapter should put as little load on CPU as possible.
3. Decent throughput with both large and small packets.

I have only found one paper[1] by Paul Gray that compares Gigabit
Ethernet hardware. However, the tests seem to focus on server
applications.

The numbers from the paper suggest to me that the SysKonnect cards
would be a good choice, Intel based adapters, on the other hand, seem
to be quite popular and meanwhile there are quite a few boards with
(at least) one Intel Gigabit Ethernet chip onboard.

Do you have any recommendations?

-Hilko
