Hello, fellow posters,

As you can see from the subject, I'd like to set up a PC-based netflow
v5 probe, capable of exporting information about specific source and
destination ASes for the purpose of accounting. Regretfully, I
didnt come to any solution, mostly because the kernel FIB, eventhough
injected with a full BGP routing table, doesnt carry any BGP specific
information (such as next-hop AS, src AS, dst AS, etc.). This is
normal, because, at least the way I can explain it to myself, the BGP
speaking daemons, be it Zebra/Quagga, Xorp or OpenBGPd are userspace
programs and probably dont have a way to inject such information into
the kernel FIB, that's why keep it in its own structures.

My question is does any of you know of a way to achieve some sort of
interaction between the BGP-speaking daemon (e.g. Quagga) and the
various netflow probes to export Netflow v5 data, including
src/dst AS information.

Maybe some netgraph module besides ng_netflow, which I tried, but of no
avail.

Sorry if my question seems a bit messy.
