Netflow Mapping and multiple source recommendations

Russ LaPlante

Hello,

There are a lot of netflow collector/analysis packages available. I am looking for one that specifically will do the following:

1. Aggregate netflow data from multiple routers and deduplicate a flow when it is detected in multiple routers.

2. Use the netflow data to create a graphical map to provide a useful GUI interface describing the data flow on a logical or geographic map.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Russ

Here are two that I have used, they are quite pricy but work well. There may be a opensource application out there.

1. Mazu Profiler

2. Cisco MARS

For Netflow analysis, you should also consider Cisco Netflow Collection Engine, and the new Cisco NAPAS bundle. Information about NetFlow Collection Engine can be found at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps1964/index.html

Information about NAPAS is at

The Cisco Performance Visibility Manager seems like an interesting product, but I am not enthused at the NAM requirement. What would the NAM give me that netflow export would not? I do not need analysis on the router.

Can I use Cisco Performance Visibility Manager with the data in the Netflow Collection Engine? And will this product meet my previously stated requirements?

Thanks, Russ
