To check what type of application traffic flows ?

[bapatsubodh]

Hi,

Is there any command which can be used to monitor what application of traffic is flowing in an interface or overall router. Like ftp, http, kazaa, genutela , edonky is flowing via router. So that we can police shape , in short can apply some QoS on those interfaces.

Thanks in advance

Hi Subodh,

Enable Netflow on your routers and export these statistics to a netflow apllication.

You can use the adventnet netflow analyser to collect these statistics.

These are the command you will need on your router

int fa 0/0

ip route-cache flow

int fa 0/1

ip route-cache flow

ip flow-export destination 9996

ip flow-export version 5

HTH, rate if it does

Wish you a very happy new year

The above does give you a much better picture but if you just want quick and dirty you can put

ip nbar protocol-discovery

on your interfaces and then do a

show ip nbar protocol-discovery

Hi,

show ip nbar proto-dis..

works ok also one more good command i found out

show ip cache flow | inc ( port numbers )

As we can not install any software , I could not try earlier answer.

Apart from all, I came to know about that website from where we can get some really good network related tools.

Thanx a lot friends and wish u a very happy new year !
