But in most of the cases =E2=80=8Bwe don't add server as a dependency as the user = might use a different database server host. > > 3. nProbe is a commercial supported GPL product where the source code is >> available for the customer.

Not the ntopng. If you are looking forward something explicit to flow based sampling try the following URL to look for more alternatives. http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=3Dshortdescription&method=3Dmatc= h&query=3Dnetflow&num=3D100&orderby=3Dcategory&orderbyupdown=3Dasc&search= =3DSearch However I am not aware about any tools which can generate netflow/sflow alike traffic from FreeBSD host itself except bpft. But you can give a shot at the following to investigate your options: http://www.switch.ch/network/projects/completed/TF-NGN/floma/software.html BR, Muhammad =E2=80=8B
