I want to be able to see information like how much traffic an ip send over a period of time, what machines it talked to etc from this perspective it should be IP based but I would really like to know how other people do it.
Truth is that most people probably don't do it, beyond temporary, ad-hoc deployments, to solve a specific problem at a specific point in time. Traffic capture and analysis doesn't scale too well into multi-Gb/s service provider environments. Netflow tools are an option if 'reasonably accurate' is good enough for your needs. jms
