Good luck trying to force inbound traffic to a specific link. I worked with BGP quite a bit and it's tough to do. Easy for failover - not easy to load balance or some type of policy based routing. Oubound is easy as I'm sure you're aware.
Agreed comletely. And, in fact, I'm trying to prove the point that we're not doing what my co-workers think we're doing. Also of not, I think, the router on the small link does BGP updates all day long - the other hardly ever does.
Regardless, ip accounting on each router will tell you what ip's are doing what volume of traffic with who. Not pretty, but it will quickly get the info you need. I'm sure you could copy/paste into excel and make it look pretty if you want. Else, (2) nics in ntop should work no problem.
I haven't messed with ip accounting - a lot of overhead? Is there a tool to bring that info in or do you just view it from the router's console?
If you're doing NAT/PNAT - which you probably are - how will you distinguish between local nodes?
We PAT going out (and that IP is noticeable in NTop)...
You may have to stick ntop on the private side of your firewall to get the true client side info, but you won't be able to tell which link they're using then!
Yeah, and I'd mostly just see our frontend servers on the ecom side hitting their data resources... _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
