Hi,

Greetings!

Thanks for a great tool.

In recent versions of nfcapd, I read about the "-n" option through which
multiple-netflow source streams can be captured by a single instance of
nfcapd.

However, I have been running my tests/analysis of netflow from 3
different netflow routers pointing to a single instance of nfcapd
without the "-n" option.

For example:- Currently, I am running nfcapd like this:

nfcapd -b 164.99.87.47 -T +13 -w -B 102400000 -l /flow_base_dir/router1
-p 9999

and using the following nfdump command/options, I am post processing the
results:

nfdump -r /flow_base_dir/router1/nfcapd.201210081340 -o "fmt:%ra %ts %td
%pr %sap -> %dap %flg %tos %pkt %byt %fl" -s router

and get: 

Top 10 Router IP ordered by flows:
Date first seen          Duration Proto         Router IP    Flows(%)
Packets(%)       Bytes(%)         pps      bps   bpp
2012-07-03 22:24:44.368 8321360.751 any       164.99.87.223

2012-07-04 07:45:50.457 8289479.403 any       164.99.87.220
2720(32.8)   145925(33.5)    4.2 M(33.6)        0        4    28
2012-07-05 09:15:01.152 8190071.749 any       164.99.87.222
2070(25.0)   104218(23.9)    3.1 M(24.5)        0        2    29

(grouped by router)

So, was wondering whether using "-n" option in the nfcapd would get me a
different report than this?

And/or whether the way that I am collecting netflow data from the three
routers is correct?

Thanks in advance,

V. Varadhan.
