Re: Sflow billing or usage calculation software

[Tom Beecher]

I’m curious what the service is that 50Mbps avg over a 24 hr window is an
investigative threshold.

Tony,

You might find the following article useful in identifying features to
consider when evaluating sFlow analyzers:
https://blog.sflow.com/2009/05/choosing-sflow-analyzer.html

The following white paper discusses accuracy of packet sampling for usage
accounting:

RE: Sflow billing or usage calculation software

[Ryan Hamel]

Tony,

Take a look at pmacct, it will be able to handle your needs with a number of 
modifications. The section I linked below should give you a good starting 
point. Change the traffic dump to a MySQL database, add some indexes, craft 
some SQL queries, then you're off to the races. As for billing notifications, a 
cron script would need to calculate the usages, and alert based on your set 
thresholds.

http://wiki.pmacct.net/OfficialExamples - XVII. Using pmacct as traffic/event 
logger

For added bonus points, combine it with a BGP feed, and know where your traffic 
is going outbound, that way intelligent routing changes can be made much 
quicker.

Hi All
I am looking for Sflow analytical software that can tell me automatically over 
say a period of 24 hours (or any time period I select) the average mbit of data 
consumed for any IP address within our entire AS.
(Without configuring a rule or billing group for each IP address or customer

have the capability to review data say over a month.

Re: Disney+ CDN

[sneddon]

Perhaps they are looking to build a hybrid solution? That’s what I would do. 

According to open job positions at BAMTech, they are looking for engineers to 
drive “on-premise, cloud, and third party distribution solutions. Working with 
the latest in streaming video, web serving and caching technologies.” There is 
also a CDN DevOps position open.

Sflow billing or usage calculation software

[Tony C]

Hi All

I am looking for Sflow analytical software that can tell me automatically
over say a period of 24 hours (or any time period I select) the average mbit
of data consumed for any IP address within our entire AS. 

(Without configuring a rule or billing group for each IP address or customer
within our network)

The purpose is to help quickly work out IP addressees which are using more
bandwidth (in or out) than what we consider to be acceptable usage.

For example, I would like to review a report or be automatically alerted to
any IP address using more than an average of 50mbit within the past 24 hour
plus have the capability to review data say over a month.

Any names of software of suggestions would be great which I can investigate,
happy to look at both commercial software and open source or if you have a
Sflow billing solution for data consumption which is simple and easy to use
please let me know 

Thanks

Tony

Phoning home is not an option here, as the whole point is to have an OOB 
backdoor that works even if «home» is totally FUBAR.

For that reason it needs to be completely independent of the production 
network. Standard Internet connections are perfect, IFF they are bi-directional.
