sFLOW This is the first release of sFlow.pm, a module decoding sFlow datagrams version 2, 3, 4 and 5. sFlow is an industry standard technology for monitoring high speed switched networks. The technology is built into network equipment and gives complete visibility into network activity, enabling effective management and control of network resources. You can find more about sFlow on sflow.org. The datastructure of sFlow v.4 is described in RFC 3176 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3176.txt) and of sFlow v.5 in a memo on sflow.org (http://sflow.org/sflow_version_5.txt). Due to these descriptions being sometimes a pain to read I made some diagrams that I hope are easier to understand: Version 4: http://jasinska.de/sFlow/sFlowV4FormatDiagram/ Version 5: http://jasinska.de/sFlow/sFlowV5FormatDiagram/ I am very interested to recieve bug reports, comments, or whatever you would like to share with me :) AUTHOR Elisa Jasinska 2006/07/28 CONTACT Please send comments/bugs to COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2006 AMS-IX B.V.
