sFlow sampling unit is the basic part of sFlow mechanism. It samples messages over the
network interface that supports sFlow, and then it will send the messages to sFlow proxy
unit for processing. sFlow Collector implements sFlow management, monitoring,
collection and analysis. It is responsible for saving and analyzing messages from all
sFlow Agent. Then it will give analysis report on traffic and service.
3.2.11 ACL
To filter data, a series of matching rules need to be configured for network device to
identify the objects needs filtering. When particular object is identified, corresponding
data packets are permitted or prohibited based on the pre-set policy. ACL (Access
Control List) can implement all these functions.
Usually ACL is adopted to implement data packets filtering, policy routing and special
traffic control. One ACL contains one or multiple rules for special types of data packets.
