NetFlow is a trade mark of Cisco Systems Inc (USA).
Packets in the identical format used by NetFlow are produced by
a wide range of networking equipment, including a number of
Linux tools. I've seen the Linux tools used in customer
networks but I've never evaluated them myself, which is why
I'm didn't make a recommendation of a particular tool for the
sampler.
Because of the trade mark you'll often find NetFlow traffic
samplers under names other than NetFlow (eg, Juniper uses
"cflowd" as a synonym for NetFlow). There is one exception:
sFlow is *not* identical to the NetFlow format.
If you want more information on ISP accounting tools, the NANOG
list is a more suitable forum. The Cisco-NSP and Juniper-NSP
lists often host useful discussions too. The archives of all
these lists are online.
Best wishes, Glen
