Wondering what others in the small to medium sized networks out there are using these days for netflow data collection, and your opinion on the tool?
a question not asked, and answer not provided here, is: "What are you actually trying to do with the netflow?" Answers of the form: "Dos detection and mitigation planning" "Discover peering options/opportunities" "billing customers" "traffic analysis for future network planning" "abuse monitoring/management/investigations" "pretty noc graphs" are helpful.. I'm sure other answers would as well.. but: "how do you collect?" is "with a collector" and isn't super helpful if the collector can't feed into the tooling / infrastructure / long-term goal you have.
