[f-nsp] Sflow and/or measurement

[Cliff Fogle]

If I remember correctly there is no hardware sflow sampling in IronCore.
Your only option then is an external host running an sflow probe, and
mirror ports.  InMon makes one:

I use InMon's Traffic Server...it's pretty fantastic once you learn to
use it.  I do wish it was a little more 'open'.  I would love to access
whatever dB they use with my own scripts.

Last I checked NTOP had some very limited sflow reporting, using the
sflow-tools freely distributed by InMon, it was pretty minimal though:

What do you wish to accomplish?

I am currently sampling sFlow data to collect
statistics over to which ASs our traffic is going.
It's rather simple, sflow-tools together with a
homebuilt perl script.

There's not many of-the-shelf products available
for sFlow but if you're handy with Perl you can do
most of it yourself.

Please provide a bit more information on what you
actually want to do and I will try to help you out
further :)

   Kristian.
