Hi all,
i am looking some kind of software for a customer of mine.
it should do either netflow or ip accounting collection from cisco.
it should produce individual customer views (like /23 network) based on that accounting.
a lot of products exist, but nothings fits the "normal small isp needs"
can anyone make me a recommendation for a linux based software either open source or $$$.

Jan:
InMon Traffic Server does sFlow (RFC3176), NetFlow, and XRMON.
Demonstration is at www.inmon.com/its.
Foundry implements XRMON in the JetCore ASIC. Every port can become an
XRMON/sFlow probe. You can set the sampling rate to sample off every
port in real time with sFlow. SNMP data is piggybacked/pushed (not
polled) with sFlow data. Unlike NetFlow, you can implement this on
every port without a performance impact. InMon Traffic Server becomes a
real time tool in this instance. I think this is better than NetFlow
(whitepapers from statisticians convinced me), but we do NetFlow too.
Regardless, I believe it is reasonably priced and you can download a 30
day eval to see if it meets your NetFlow needs. It installs on RedHat
and it doesn't take long to get it up and running.
42.3% of all statistics are made up on the fly...

I'm looking forward to implementing IPMeter (www.ipmeter.com) on our
network.
I'm sure it will fit the normal small ISP needs.

well. i'm also fiddling with this software, but it takes a bit to implement the stuff...

Does IPMeter have hooks to deal with 95th Percentile Billing? At first
glance it doesn't appear to.
