[isp-bgp] Re: Monitoring traffic of BGP peers

[Erik Haagsman <erik@...>]

Hi Vladimir,

I'd say use NetFLow, it's by far the easiest and most flexible and
there's a lot of free tools like flow-tools and cflowd available to
process the data and come up with the info you're looking for.
Be careful when playing with it though, keep an eye on your router's CPU
levels and don't set your sample rate too high to begin with.

Cheers,

Erik
