Juniper added sFlow support to MX routers in Junos 18.1R1,

You might want to consider deploying sFlow instead of IPFIX, particularly
if you are interested in DDoS mitigation where low latency and visibility
into packet headers can be helpful.

I’m looking for a free-ish Linux open sources Netflow collector/analyser.
I have 5 Juniper MX routers that will send IPFIX flows to for an ISP
network.    I’m hoping it is something I can run in AWS/EC2 as I don’t want
to worry about storage again in my lifetime.  Does anyone have any
recommendations?



For reporting I would like to generate basic  usage reports to/from
IP/Subnet/ASN.  It would be great if it could also detect DDoS and activate
flowspec back into my core routers but that isn’t a requirement



Thanks
