Best in what way? It sounds like Kentik has a longer retention policy than Arbor, which would explain the higher space requirements.
So are you saying it may be worth a small shop asking about pricing? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Stewart" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2017 9:51:38 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Netflow Depends on flow volumes and stuff.. talked to them at NANOG and conference calls … For a low volume shop they seem to have a slick solution - only seen a brief demo. However, depending on volume they do not scale “well” - we were told that we would need several racks of servers to deal with volume :( Arbor Peakflow is the best product out there hands down … but it’s well into 6 figures so your budget may not support it ….

I've been doing some research into using Netflow again. Long time ago I used NTOP, but it sucked. Not sure if that's changed or not. Ideally would be a much newer improved interface type system that was hosted for a few bucks a month. Then I could just sign up and point my Netflow streams to it. I need one that is geared towards ISPs, not Datacenter/Servers. I don't care about netflowing and optimizing web sites, I want to profile my customer traffic. Ideally it would include features necessary for CALIA and law enforcement requirements. If it was also great at syslog management that would be a plus. The Dude currently sucks for syslog IMO. </blockquote>
