Hello everyone, I'd like to inspect the flows in and out of my fbsd boxes. In order to closely simulate a true netflow-capable router, I found out I need three components: flow sensors, flow collector and flow analyzer. There are quite a few solutions for collecting and analyzing flows, even some written in Java. My question is what should I use for a flow sensor. I did some research and googled quite a bit to find out the following tools capable of exporting netflow records: softflowd fprobe ipcad ng_netflow pfflowd (in combination with pf) Since the feedback information is rather scarce on these tools, could you share your experiences with any of these tools? Have I missed some good ones? Which one should I prefer? Thanks for any response! Nino
