Cisco NetFlow allows for extremely granular and accurate traffic measurements by recording network traffic into the device cache. Since network traffic has a flow nature to it, the NetFlow accounting data that is built in the cache, characterizes the IP traffic being forwarded.
Cisco NetFlow data records exported by routers and switches consist of expired traffic flows with detailed traffic statistics. These flows contain information about source and destination IP addresses along with the protocols and ports used in the end-to-end conversation.
Cisco NetFlow combined with NetFlow Analyzer yields valuable information about the behavior of traffic on your network. Armed with this information, it is easier to make critical decisions on bandwidth capacity, security, and optimal usage of network infrastructure.
