Elisa Jasinska, AMS-IX
sFlow is a relatively new but more and more popular standard to capture traffic data in switched or routed networks. It uses a sampling technology to collect
statistics from the device and is for that reason applicable to gigabit speeds or higher.
AMS-IX implemented a traffic flow visualization service for it's members based on sFlow data.
Due to the high and constantly increasing throughput on the AMS-IX platform the implementation was focused on performance as well as on scalability.
This talk describes the implementation
of the tools, visualization to the members and the benefits for traffic engineering within the exchange gained from sFlow data.
