Hi all, i am looking some kind of software for a customer of mine. it should do either netflow or ip accounting collection from cisco. it should produce individual customer views (like /23 network) based on that accounting. a lot of products exist, but nothings fits the "normal small isp needs" can anyone make me a recommendation for a linux based software either open source or $$$. --jan
Have a look of www.caida.org there [is/was] a netflow collector package that was pretty good linked from that site. Cheers, Neil.

I tried cflow and other variants and none of them cut the mustard in my view. We ended up writing our own that polls the router every 5 or so minutes and dumps it all into a mysql server. Seems to do the trick so far, but I cant see it lasting out too much longer with newer clients etc. ================================= This message has been appended to the original email Mailscan and has been checked for viruses. =================================
Jan: InMon Traffic Server does sFlow (RFC3176), NetFlow, and XRMON. Demonstration is at www.inmon.com/its. Foundry implements XRMON in the JetCore ASIC. Every port can become an XRMON/sFlow probe. You can set the sampling rate to sample off every port in real time with sFlow. SNMP data is piggybacked/pushed (not polled) with sFlow data. Unlike NetFlow, you can implement this on every port without a performance impact. InMon Traffic Server becomes a real time tool in this instance. I think this is better than NetFlow (whitepapers from statisticians convinced me), but we do NetFlow too. Regardless, I believe it is reasonably priced and you can download a 30 day eval to see if it meets your NetFlow needs. It installs on RedHat and it doesn't take long to get it up and running. 42.3% of all statistics are made up on the fly... Gary

I'm looking forward to implementing IPMeter (www.ipmeter.com) on our network. I'm sure it will fit the normal small ISP needs.

well. i'm also fiddling with this software, but it takes a bit to implement the stuff... --jan -- Jan-Ahrent Czmok email: czmok@gatel.net Senior Network Engineer voice: +49-69-299896-0 Global Access Telecommunications, Inc. fax : +49-69-299896-40 internet solutions for business www : www.gatel.net
Does IPMeter have hooks to deal with 95th Percentile Billing? At first glance it doesn't appear to. Jeff On Thu, Dec 06, 2001 at 12:01:57AM +0100, Jan-Ahrent Czmok typed:

Not sure if it directly answers your question, but its a useful link anyway http://www.linuxisp.com/compare/billing.html jm On Wednesday, December 5, 2001, at 03:06 PM, Jeffrey Meltzer wrote:
