Applications

While the InMon sFlow Probe can still export NetFlow data, sFlow is now the prefered export protocol.

sFlow is an industry standard protocol, supported by many leading network equipment vendors. There are a number of software solutions that can collect sFlow data.

sFlow was chosen because of its scalability and the detail it provides, providing better support for security analysis, troubleshooting, VoIP, BGP, MPLS, VLAN and accounting applications.
