Spliting National & International

[Peter Nixon]

pmacct is a package that contains a number of daemons capable of different 
things. pmacctd can listen in promiscuous mode (on a switch span/monitor 
port) or simply capture all traffic which passes through an interface (if 
the linux box is routing the traffic) and aggregate that traffic according 
to various rules and write to a sql database or text file. It uses libpcap 
style rules like tcpdump so it is very flexible.

nfacctd and sfacctd take netflow data exported from ciscos and sflow data 
exported from HP and other devices respectively and give you similar 
functionality as pmacctd without your linux box having to see the traffic 
pass it's own interface. You can of course collect traffic data from 
multiple devices in different parts of your network.

Basically none of this is related at all to RADIUS, so I suggest you join the 
pmacct list if you have any further questions. The only bit that may need to 
be integrated with radius is the source IP lookup if your users don't have 
static IP addresses...

Cheers
