Hi.

I have looked at and tested the options over the past few days and
realistically we need to sample both directions at both locations as we
have a different use case we need to satisfy at the network edges in
addition to accounting subscriber traffic. We are investigating with the
routing vendor if there is a way of specifying a sampling interface to send
to a specific collector but we are still waiting for feedback on if that is
possible.

Another option I have been considering is that I should use multiple pmacct
collectors, where the first one filter based on the source ip, same prefix
list for src_host and dst_host, with and the same in_face, out_face and
then tee/replicate that to another collector to recombine them and to
sum_host, I haven't tested that yet, will it work or is there something
else can I try?

Thank you.
