Not to pick nits, but what I quoted was a cache snapshot; caches don't impact performance under normal circumstances, though their construction may do so. > But what we're specifically looking for in terms of continuous sampling > (such as that we do on the NSS routers) is a net matrix... if you > changed the Cisco flow switching stuff to use network numbers (and > mask), you'd have something very much like what we're looking for in > terms of continuous sampling. From there we build AS matrices, etc. Yes ... but you shouldn't need anything special for that. We have been doing the same for a long time, using regular IP accounting on the edge routers, which is then summarised over a full routing table. The only discrepancies that occur are if changes in routing occur between the time of accounting and processing, but this tends not to be a problem. > The other thing about the flow-switching data that's different than the > NSS (and probably what we'll get from Bay) is that there aren't really > any nice ways of retrieving/storing the data automatically. This used to be true, but "probably" isn't true any longer. -- ------ ___ --- Per G.
