I want to know how can one calculate bandwidth requirements based upon flows and viceversa. Meaning if I had to achieve total of 50,000 netflows what is the bandwidth requirement to produce this number? Is there a formula for this. I'm using this to size up flow analyzer appliance. If its license says supports 50,000 flows what does this means. How more bandwidth if i increase I would lose the license coverage? Kindly help. asked 25 Apr '13, 08:53  lazerz |
One Answer:
You can use a netflow bandwidth calculator:
Regarding your licensing question:
well, that depends on the vendor. I guess that license will only accept 50.000 flows per minute and drop every flow that exceeds that number, meaning you will not see the stats of every traffic in that case. Regards answered 25 Apr '13, 09:03  Kurt Knochner ♦ |
