I was wondering if anyone uses any free/Open Source netflow products
to capture netflow information.  We currently have a commercial
product which captures netflows and has Network Behavioral Anomaly
Detection (NBAD) capability, but I'm looking at alternatives.  We
are already using MRTG (and Cacti) to get bandwidth information, so
I'm looking for netflow tools that have the capability to dig deeper
into the flow data, ie. to zoom into a traffic spike and determine
the "top talker(s)" for the particular time period, the port,
destination IP, etc.

Please email me directly if you use a neflow application (Open
Source or commercial) which has good analysis capability.



Thanks.
