cflowd Description

cflowd is a flow analysis tool currently used for analyzing Cisco's NetFlow enabled switching method. cflowd is a flow analysis tool currently used for analyzing Cisco's NetFlow enabled switching method. The current release (described below) includes the collections, storage, and basic analysis modules for cflowd and for arts++ libraries. This analysis package permits data collection and analysis by ISPs and network engineers in support of capacity planning, trends analysis, and characterization of workloads in a network service provider environment. Other areas where cflowd may prove useful are: tracking for Web hosting, accounting and billing, network planning and analysis, network monitoring, developing user profiles, data warehousing and mining, as well as security-related investigations.cflowd is no longer supported by CAIDA. Instead, please consider the use of flow-tools, which will provide a toolset for working with NetFlow data. flow-tools can also be used (like cflowd) in conjunction with FlowScan, maintained by Dave Plonka at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Requirements:· cflowd requires the arts++ package. You should download and install arts++ before downloading and building cflowd. cflowd needs header files and libraries from the arts++ package, and the arts++ package contains the C++ library for handling the data stored by cfdcollect (as well as a handful of utilities for aggregating and viewing the data).What's New in This Release:· Fixed race condition for packet queue buffers. cflowdmux needs to acquire the next buffer before releasing the previous one. Otherwise it is possible for a reader to acquire the current buffer after cflowdmux releases it, and also acquire the next buffer before cflowdmux locks it.· Note that read clients must be well-behaved to prevent deadlock.
