I was referring to the overall resources ie the huge amount of disk space often needed, the servers to collect it etc.. as for the actual routers resources I'll take your word for it as I can't see anyone using ip accounting for anything on a large scale anyway, it's hardly descriptive but I do find it handy in those times when you are on the spot and looking for a culprit who is chewing bandwidth, I guess it makes more sense to use ip route-cache flow and the output of a sh ip cache flow in that case if netflow truly is that much better on the routers resources, oh well learn something new every day :) Cheers Ben _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
