flow-based network traffic analyser
Project homepage: https://code.google.com/p/softflowd/
Description
Softflowd is flow-based network traffic analyser capable of Cisco
NetFlow data export. Softflowd semi-statefully tracks traffic flows
recorded by listening on a network interface or by reading a packet
capture file. These flows may be reported via NetFlow to a collecting
host or summarised within softflowd itself.

OpenBSD README
+----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running softflowd on OpenBSD +----------------------------------------------------------------------- Before starting softflowd(8), "softflowd_flags" needs to be modified in rc.conf.local(8) to listen on a network interface as a minimum. For example: softflowd_flags=-i em0 This would cause softflowd(8) to listen on interface em0 and to run in statistics gathering mode only (i.e. no NetFlow data export). softflowd_flags=-i fxp0 -n 10.1.0.2:4432 This would cause softflowd(8) to listen on interface fxp0 and to export NetFlow v.5 datagrams on flow expiry to a flow collector running on 10.1.0.2 port 4432. In both statistics-only and export mode, the running daemon can be controlled (i.e. pause data collection, expire or delete flows, etc.) and queried for statistics using the softflowctl(8) control program.
