network baselining using netflow

[sarahr202]

Hi everybody.

I was reading about how a netflow is used to baseline a network by exporting entries router's cache to netflow collector.

What are some common netflow collectors?

Is there any one available free so I can use it on my home lab for learning purpose ?

thanks and have a great weekend.

Hello,

What details are you looking for in a NetFlow baseline?  Hosts, Protocols, Applications?  How much history do you need? 

You might consider taking a NetFlow Training class.
