RES: RES: [Flow-tools] Flow in samples

A list of tools supporting sFlow is maintained on the sFlow  
technology website http://www.sflow.org under Products>sFlow Collectors.

Some free,  some not so free.
Many of them support NetFlow too.

One of the free ones, sflowtool,  can be used to convert sFlow to  
sampled-netflow v5 e.g. for feeding into flow-tools (or to pcap  
format for feeding into tethereal, tcpdump or snort).  Of course, in  
extracting NetFlow v5 you are throwing some of the useful sFlow  
information away,  so I would encourage you to check out some of the  
specialized sFlow applications too.
