Wooo! Very nice!

Re: [Vyatta-users] NetFlow
netflow == nice sflow == better (imho, at least) sflow is open, and gives L2 info as well as full bgp path stats rather than just srcAS and peerAS info. Or you could totally blow our socks off and do both ;) But then again, you don't *really* wanna be writing royalty checks to crisco now, do you? --Peter Max wrote: Wooo! Very nice!

Re: [Vyatta-users] NetFlow
Max, Are you looking for an x-flow collector or are you looking for the Vyatta to be a flow exporter? Cheers, Robert.

Re: [Vyatta-users] NetFlow
There are methods for doing this in kernel using ip_conntrack_netlink and ulogd2, but last time I looked they weren't incredibly mature. I should probably browse the code again and see what the current state of the state is. Until then, you can add userspace applications that use libpcap to generate flow information. Check out ntop or netramet. Both of these applications will require more processor and memory than your average Vyatta router. Ntop should include nProbe which allows you to export the flow data. Ntop is available as a debian package. Just add the debian lenny repo to your config, apt-get update, apt-get install ntop to check it out. As a bonus, it generates pretty graphs...

Right now I just have a span/mirror port configured on a switch that gives me pretty good visibility, but I rather work in flows right off the router. All of our routers send flow data out to one of our collectors at the moment.
