Hi

I am using nprobe to process the previously stored flows generated from tcpdump program. I am redirecting the output in a file by using following command

>> nprobe -r A.dump.0170.out -P /home/aaa53/ >>

The input dump file is around 200 Megs and the nprobe generates the resultant file of around 6 Megs. The file generated is:
>> 1196182500.flow.temp >>.
When I try to read the generated output using "flow-tools" program, I get error.

It is probably something to do with the format in which nProbe stores the data and those of used by flow-tools. I normally use flow-tool for analyzing the NetFlow data and it works fine. Can anyone help me that whether it is the difference in the storage format or I am missing something? If, flow-tools is not appropriate to read nProbe generated output, what other easily available sw I can try? And finally, can I get some documentation on the code of nProbe? I intend to extend some functionality of nProbe for conducting some experiments for my research.

Any help and guidance in this connection will be highly appreciated.
