We noticed a *minor* increase in CPU. Ie, a 7206 moving around about 10 to 12 mb/s on average, with 8 ethers, 8 T1', 2 HSSIs, and one fast ether, on a NPE-150 with 128 Megs, about 12 peers (5 of which are fairly active), two full views, running 11.1.17CA, was doing around 30% on average. With NetFlow on every interface, it moved up to about 36%. FYI, CEF was about 24%. 'sho proc c' shows most of the CPU going to IP Input: CPU utilization for five seconds: 34%/32%; one minute: 36%; five minutes: 36% PID Runtime(ms) Invoked uSecs 5Sec 1Min 5Min TTY Process 17 150791508 36649565 4114 0.32% 0.46% 0.48% 0 IP Input On Fri, 15 May 1998, Dave Curado wrote:

Does anyone have any data points they'd share regarding the impact of netflow export on cpu load? I'd like to capture all of my netflow stats, but I'm worried about scalability.

Thanks, davec
