NetFlow
A network protocol for collecting IP traffic flow data, used for bandwidth monitoring and congestion analysis.
Definition
NetFlow is a network protocol originally developed by Cisco for collecting IP traffic flow data from routers and switches. It captures who is talking to whom, on which protocols, in which volumes, without inspecting packet contents. NetFlow is the foundation of bandwidth monitoring, congestion analysis, top-talker identification, and capacity planning. Explore VEMIO product information on vemio.io.
