The Collector is free. The Analyzer goes for $3000. You should run it on an Ultra 1 or better with 256MB RAM and lots of disk. The analysis is quite impressive. Version 2 is much improved over version 1. I haven't run it on a serious box yet (I've been cheating with a dual Sparc 20 w 128 MB RAM! :), but from what I've seen, it is great. Chris

NetFlow Collector and Analyzer from Cisco. They are expensive and require a ton of horsepower on the Analyzer, but they run great.
