[j-nsp] Analyzing traffic content

[Scott Granados]

This sounds like a job for inline Flow or more generically called NetFlow although if memory serves that may be a Cisco term.  (Flow is the Juniper term)

You can collect this data with something like NFSEN / NFDUMP and glean from that the data you’re looking for using all sorts of included filters.  There are paid packages that are also very good but good ol open source NFSEN / NFDUMp has been the way I’ve done it for a while now.

Good luck
