Netflow Collector

[davidhuynh5]

I posted this in the Network Management section, but didn't get many hits.  Does anyone have a reccomemdation on a freeware "netflow collector" that runs on a Windows? I'm not talking about a 30-day trial. Thanks in advance.

I've not seen an open source netflow collector for windoze.

After getting a cisco cert one of the best things I did for my professional development in regard to IT was purchasing this book:

Downloading and installing FreeBSD:

Going through the book cover to cover.  After this open source tools such as netflow came naturally.  Here are some readily available FreeBSD ports for netflow.

Thank you Chetan.  Scrutinizer will provide a 30 day key and then run in free mode for unlimited routers/switches and interfaces.  A few reports stop working after the key expires, but more still work.  It also starts dropping all the data everynight after midnight.
