Hello Pierre!
Netflow works only under Solaris... maybe under HPUX... I don't have a
Sun machine hanging around... much less a HPUX :-)
I think that Cisco don't ported NetFlow to Linux (or FreeBSD or any
open-source OS) cause they charge a lot for it... at least in Brazil...
I think they charge US$30.000 for the software... plus the
workstation... plus the consulting firm tha will implement it... nor
cheap or fast...
I found a tool (cflowd, from caida.org ) that seems to be what I want...
I'll try to test it this week...
