1 pmacct is a set of network tools to gather IP traffic
2 informations (bytes counter and number of packets); aggregation
3 of statistics is done using simple primitives (MAC addresses,
4 source host, destination host, ports and ip protocols) that can
5 be used alone or combined together to form complex aggregation
6 methods; counters are either global or historical (broken at
7 fixed timeslots). Data is either stored in a memory table,
8 pulled to stdout or in a SQL database (MySQL or PostgreSQL).
9 Gathering packets off the wire is done either using pcap
10 library (and promiscuous mode of the listening interface) or
11 reading Netflow packets coming from the network.
