Hello,
I'm wondering if any has had good luck using the netflow function of ntop (as a probe) on a PII-500 class (or PII class, in general) collecting on a Gigabit interface? I am trying to collect netflow data and the target interface is a Cisco c6509 "port monitor" of a Solaris Gigabit Host. The Solaris Host sometimes sends/receives at 400+MBit/sec.
I am wondering if ntop netflow plugin or nprobe can keep up with these kind of speeds by using a PCI Gigabit adapter in a slightly older PII class machine?
I assume it will keep up if its not doing much disk caching...unless the bus on this type of machine can't even process that fast.
Thank you.
