# This modified version does not only store the raw flows into a single
# table which will easily grow up to 2 gigs a day.
# 
# It creates a table for every month (machine time, not packet time - have to fix that)
# and in that table creates an entry for each host specified in a network list - every 
day.
# This makes it very easy to get traffic information for a specific host during a 
specific period
# 
# When a flow is coming in it gets checked weather it is coming or going to a host in
# the localnets list and the corresponding field for that host gets updated.
#
# The script produces almost no load at all on a dual P3 1000 with 2 G RAM and SCSI
# However the mysqld daemon might raise your load up to 0.04 on the same machine with
# 4096 hosts being monitored. Please read the mysql manual for performance tuning.
# Keep in mind that this might become a real problem when you have a lot of networks 
in your
# localnets list.
#
# According to my calculations each monthly table gets about 8 MB big when monitoring 
4096 hosts
