> Netflow traffic will only be coming from the MX per your network you have it setup for. But I understand what your saying 😃 Thank you, Nolan. I also found something which alluded to NETFLOW being sourced from the MX, only. Which is fine...for me...because that's the uplink I wanted to monitor, anyway. I'll also say...despite my apprehension to using NETFLOW...it's already turned out to be a much more useful source of information. As suspected, I discovered some bandwidth anomalies; and with NETFLOW, I was able to determine the source very quickly. ... View more

> If you query the interface data volume every 60s then you can calculate the average bit rate. You don't need to worry about the timing on the device - you just need to time when you make your queries. For a brief, manual-effort analysis, that would be adequate. As part of an on-going, systems monitoring process, that may not be very accurate method. There's overhead and latency on the system performing the queries. (and I'm not sure that I could even have the platform do the math.) Thank you for the reply, though. ... View more

>Would netflow give you what you want?   There's a lot of overhead and excess data for which I don't really care about in Netflow.  As well, Netflow is enabled for the whole site.  Not just an interface; or a specific device.  It's enabled "network wide".  I don't know what that means.  I have a firewall, switches and several wireless access points.  Am I receiving an aggregate value of all devices? That being said, I am trying to use Netflow, now.  My system has the ability to collect Netflow data.  Though that has its limitations too. At least I have a better insight into traffic utilization.
