Hi,
I'm writing a backend plugin to obtain a daily AS-AS traffic matric in
my network, with 38 ASs and 21 sources.
The only way I found so far is to get the information with nfdump (1.5)
running
 
#nfdump -M  <source_list>  -R nfcapd.$tart_tslot:nfcapd.$end_tslot -n 50
-s srcas/bytes -o long "src as $src_as and dst as $dst_as"

as many times as all the possible AS-AS pairs (38X38), and then parse
the output.
Note that  I use -n 50 but I could vell have used  -n 1 (because of the
filtering, I always  get that there is only one contributing src_as).
The problem is that given the number of flows (roughly: 300 k flows per
source and per hour, with each AS connected to one, or two, or three
sources at most), the processing time is high.
I probably won't be able to run the processing every day over all the
past 24 hours, but I'll be forced to focus on a limited time slice.
Questions:
1) is there another easy way to do?
2) if not, how difficult would it be (and what module should be
modified) to let nfdump have prallel filters?  The processing bottleneck
is clearly the disk access bandwidth (the cpu stays at about 4-5%).

Regards,
Maurizio
