Great. Can I have a pointer on getting started?
I've had a bit of a look over the web site but wasn't really sure where
to start.
I think my interest is:
aa. Collect/catch netflow data and do something...
bb. Stuff it in a mysql database? Or should I be looking at stuffing
it in RDDtool?
cc. Pull the data back out using PHP to present it.
&
dd. cron some totals from time to time to decide if I need to change
the rules in the router.
If it's not already obvious, this really is just a use case so I can
prove a concept. The wife and I don't really want to account our data
(except when I'm in a bad mood with her ;) )
I'm keen to be able to catch the data and stuff it in a mysql database
because it's just easy for me to pull out of that. I really don't know
how you pull data from a RDDTool.
I'm keen to do this as line speed out of the 750G (a gigibit router)
which I'm told will deal with thoughput of about 350mbit/s and 5 to
6mps, without going broke having to buy a quad processor i7 machine just
to do the accounting... or am I dreaming?
but it won't
let you throttle a users' bandwidth. You'll need to use the Mikrotik
shaping features for bandwidth control.
Yip, sorry, my bad, I should have explained that. I didn't assume that
flow-tools would do that bit.
