Chapter 41 sFlow Commands

sFlow (Sampled Flow) is a technology for accurately monitoring network traffic at high speeds.
The sFlow monitoring system consists of an sFlow agent (embedded in a switch or router or in a
standalone probe) and a central sFlow collector. The sFlow agent is a virtual entity using sampling
technology to capture traffic statistics from the device it is monitoring. The sFlow collector can be a
host receiving sFlow datagrams from the sFlow agent.
The sFlow function is implemented as follows: the sFlow sampler take samples of traffic statistics
and send sFlow datagrams to the sFlow agent for processing. The sFlow agent will forward sFlow
datagrams to the sFlow collector for analysis. The analytic results can be displayed on the sFlow
collector.
